This job opportunity is not currently available for hiring; however, this requisition was established for candidates to express interest in the above position, with a view to progress formally once we are in a position to do so\nLife Unlimited. At Smith+Nephew we design and manufacture technology that takes the limits off living.\nThe Computer Vision Software Engineer Intern will join the Software Engineering team supporting TESSA™ Spatial Surgery, Smith+Nephew’s computer-assisted solution for orthopedic surgical navigation. Working with experienced engineers, the intern will contribute to real-time computer vision and video software that helps surgeons visualize guidance and anatomical context during procedure planning and execution.\nThis role offers hands-on experience across image capture and processing, tracking, calibration, geometric computation, and overlay rendering on GPU-accelerated Linux platforms. The intern will deliver a defined, meaningful project, learn how software is developed and verified in a regulated medical-device environment, and gain exposure to the impact of navigation technology in arthroscopy. A hybrid schedule is anticipated to enable regular work with development and test hardware.\nWhat will you be doing?\nWork with experienced mentors to define and complete a focused internship project with a measurable outcome for Smith+Nephew’s navigation software.\nDevelop, test, and maintain computer vision features for real-time surgical navigation, including image processing, augmented-reality overlays, and geometric computations.\nUse MATLAB, Python, Julia, or similar tools where appropriate to prototype algorithms, analyze data, or create validation scripts.\nParticipate in code reviews, technical documentation, and agile team practices using Git, GitLab, CI, and standardized or containerized development environments.\nCollaborate effectively with colleagues across different locations and time zones.\nDevelop C++ skills while learning and applying medical-software practices related to quality, traceability, risk awareness, and verification under the mentorship of experienced engineers.\nDocument the project, its results, and key learnings, and present the outcome to engineering stakeholders and senior leadership.\nPlanned Start Date: May 2027\nProgram Length: 12 weeks\nLocation: Andover, MA\nWhat will you need to be successful\nEducation:\nCurrently enrolled in an accredited Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a closely related field.\nCandidates at approximately the third year of undergraduate study or beyond are encouraged to apply; equivalent project-based experience will also be considered.\nMust be in good academic standing, with a 3.0 minimum GPA preferred.\nExperience:\nDemonstrated programming experience through coursework, academic or personal projects, a prior internship, co-op, part-time role, apprenticeship, or research.\nProgramming experience in MATLAB, Python, Julia, C++, or another language through coursework or projects. Previous exposure to C++ is an advantage, but it is not required.\nCoursework or project exposure to computer vision or image processing, such as camera models, image filtering, feature detection, multi-view geometry, tracking, or camera calibration\nWorking knowledge of linear algebra and 3D geometry, including rotations, rigid transforms, and projection.\nExposure to computer vision libraries or software build tools, such as OpenCV or CMake, is a plus.\nExposure to NVIDIA Jetson, CUDA, Holoscan, or similar GPU or streaming platforms is a plus.\nFamiliarity with Eigen, Ceres, optimization methods, point clouds, registration, video pipelines, tracking, or augmented-reality overlays is a plus.\nCompetencies:\nStrong interest in computer vision, medical technology, robotics, augmented reality, or real-time embedded systems.\nCuriosity about surgical navigation and enthusiasm for understanding how software can support arthroscopy workflows and patient care.\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a practical and methodical approach to experimentation and debugging.\nAbility to design, implement, test, and clearly document software solutions with guidance from experienced engineers.\nClear written and verbal communication and the ability to collaborate with geographically distributed teams.\nAbility to work independently on defined tasks while seeking feedback and contributing effectively as part of a team.\nHigh learning agility and motivation to turn academic knowledge into an impactful engineering contribution.\nYou.
