Role

Who you are

Currently pursuing a PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field
Experience with Python and major deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow)
Theoretical understanding and practical experience with model compression techniques, specifically knowledge distillation and quantization
Experience training and evaluating deep learning models for computer vision tasks (e.g., Transformers, CNNs)
Ability to analyze experimental data to diagnose performance bottlenecks and report findings clearly

What the job involves

In this role, you will focus on optimizing state-of-the-art computer vision and deep learning models for deployment in industrial settings
You will research and apply techniques to compress complex models, making them smaller and faster while maintaining high accuracy
You will work on implementing knowledge distillation and quantization strategies to adapt these models for specific hardware constraints
Throughout your internship, you will design experiments to evaluate performance trade-offs between speed, size, and precision, and you will collaborate with the team to integrate these optimized models into our production software stack
Accelerate the deployment of advanced perception capabilities by significantly reducing model latency and memory footprint
Enable real-time robotic control and decision-making by ensuring complex models run efficiently on constrained edge hardware
Identify and validate novel optimization methods that define the future standard for our machine learning pipelines

Our take

Intrinsic believes access to automation through robotics is critical to the future of humanity. With this as its vision, the start-up is building a software platform for intelligent robotics in order to make them accessible and usable.

The company has made a series of acquisitions including of Akasha Imaging, fellow software company Vicarious - that received backing from the likes of Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg - and robotics platform developer Open Robotics. These integrations have been a huge step forward for Intrinsic’s mission of democratizing robotics.

Still relatively new to the game (the company was founded in 2021) Intrinsic appears to remain focussed on building out its operations, including by continuing to recruit quality experts as well as working with leading roboticists on product development.
