Starting with tree farms - where a single field holds millions of plants no human has ever fully inventoried.\nWe’re a small team of practical engineers with a long-term vision. We focus on real, messy, on-the-ground problems today, while working toward a future where autonomous field robots make harsh outdoor jobs easier and safer.\nIf our mission aligns with how you work and think, we’d love to learn more about you!\nThe Role\nJoin us as an ML, Perception, or Robotics Intern on a fast-moving team building the systems that allow our robots to understand and operate in complex outdoor environments.\nDepending on your interests and experience, you may work on 3D perception, multimodal ML, sensor fusion, mapping, localization, navigation, or autonomy.\nYou might train detection and segmentation models on large custom datasets, fuse LiDAR and camera data, build 3D mapping and localization systems, develop robot behaviors, or optimize models and algorithms for real-time deployment on edge GPUs.\nOur robots operate through changing light, harsh shadows, motion, dust, dense vegetation, uneven terrain, and severe occlusions. You’ll work across the full loop - from data and research to deployment, field failures, and iteration on real robots.\nWe’re hiring for Spring 2027 internships, co-ops, and part-time roles, with the possibility of starting earlier part-time.\nMinimum Requirements\nImpressive technical projects beyond the classroom in ML, computer vision, perception, robotics, mapping, or related fields\nStrong programming skills in Python, C++, or Rust\nHands-on experience with at least one of the following:Machine learning or computer vision\n3D perception, point clouds, or sensor fusion\nLocalization, mapping, navigation, controls, or robot behaviors\n\nComfortable working in Linux and debugging real systems\nExcited to learn quickly, take ownership, and test your work on real robots\nExperience with PyTorch, LiDAR, cameras, ROS, CUDA, model deployment, or edge computing is valuable but not required\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn projects from research and design through deployment and iteration on real robots\nBuild and evaluate ML, perception, mapping, and autonomy systems\nTrain models on custom outdoor datasets collected by our robots\nDevelop sensor fusion across LiDAR, cameras, GPS/IMU, and other sensors\nBuild localization, navigation, controls, and robot behaviors\nDevelop tools for data collection, labeling, training, evaluation, simulation, and field debugging\nOptimize models and algorithms for latency, memory usage, and reliability on edge hardware\nTest and deploy robotic systems during real-world customer operations\nCollaborate closely with perception, software, electrical, and mechanical engineers","description_format":"text","description_chars":2854,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T13:31:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":22,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.483,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":33,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/moss-spring-27-intern-ml-perception-robotics","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/moss-spring-27-intern-ml-perception-robotics.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T06:11:57Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9929,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3871387},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3871387"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmoss-spring-27-intern-ml-perception-robotics"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmoss-spring-27-intern-ml-perception-robotics"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmoss-spring-27-intern-ml-perception-robotics"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/moss-spring-27-intern-ml-perception-robotics\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmoss-spring-27-intern-ml-perception-robotics"}]}
