Software Engineering Co-Op - Spring 2027

We are seeking a motivated and talented Embedded AI Software Engineering Intern/Co-op to join our team for the summer. As an intern, you will work on cutting-edge embedded AI and computer vision applications for mobile machines, with a focus on optimizing AI models and real-time processing pipelines for deployment on embedded hardware. This role provides hands-on experience developing, deploying, profiling, and optimizing AI-powered vision systems on resource-constrained embedded platforms. You will work closely with our software engineering team to improve inference performance, reduce processing latency, and maximize hardware utilization while maintaining real-time system performance. Responsibilities • Collaborate with the software development team to develop and optimize embedded AI and computer vision applications for mobile machines. • Deploy, benchmark, and optimize AI models for execution on embedded targets, including platforms equipped with hardware AI accelerators. • Optimize real-time video processing and AI inference pipelines to improve throughput, reduce latency, and minimize CPU, GPU, and memory utilization. • Profile and troubleshoot on-target performance bottlenecks involving image acquisition, preprocessing, inference, postprocessing, and video output. • Explore AI model optimization techniques such as quantization, pruning, and hardware-specific acceleration to improve inference efficiency. • Develop and optimize software components in C/C++ for embedded Linux and real-time operating systems. • Integrate AI models with camera systems, sensor inputs, and embedded communication interfaces. • Develop testing and benchmarking tools to evaluate model accuracy, execution time, memory consumption, and end-to-end pipeline performance. • Document software architecture, optimization strategies, performance results, and implementation details. • Participate in team meetings, code reviews, and technical discussions. Minimum Qualifications • Currently pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or another relevant technical field. • Familiarity with C/C++ programming. • Fundamental understanding of embedded systems and software development. • Basic knowledge of artificial intelligence, machine learning, or computer vision concepts. • Familiarity with Linux development environments. • Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills. • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities. Preferred Qualifications • Experience deploying AI or computer vision models on embedded hardware. • Familiarity with AI frameworks and deployment tools such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, TensorFlow Lite, or ONNX. • Experience optimizing neural networks through quantization, model compression, or hardware-specific inference acceleration. • Familiarity with embedded AI accelerators, GPUs, or NPUs, including platforms such as Texas Instruments TDA4. • Experience with real-time video processing frameworks such as GStreamer, OpenCV, or similar technologies. • Experience with embedded Linux, QNX, or other real-time operating systems. • Familiarity with performance profiling tools and optimization techniques for CPU, GPU, memory, and system-level bottlenecks. • Knowledge of image processing, object detection, or semantic segmentation models. • Experience with embedded communication protocols such as CAN or Ethernet. • Familiarity with cross-compilation, hardware debugging, and on-target software development.
