Role
Who you are
- Do you want to gain hands-on experience in Computer Vision?
- Are you eager to learn and develop critical skills for your future career?
- Do you have passion for creating and developing and want to see your ideas come to life?
What the job involves
- In this 10-week Computer Vision Engineering Intern role, you will create, develop, and ultimately deliver a standalone project to be integrated into our product, while working in an incredibly agile and high-performant team
- Not only will you be gaining critical skills in computer vision, machine learning, and image processing, but you will also have the opportunity to be exposed to the ins and outs of the company, while getting exposure to all other departments and how they operate
- In the first 5 weeks, you will:
- Understand Evolv, our product and culture, what we do, and why we do it
- Develop clear and concise communication skills to speak freely and openly about expectations and the progress toward the internship goal
- Take initiative and ownership of the project given to you and pursue new ideas independently to reach that goal
- In the last 5 weeks, you will:
- Progress toward and complete the overarching project and sub projects
- Be able to look back throughout the internship and feel as if you had contributed something meaningful and impactful to the company
- Walk away from the internship proud of what you accomplished
- Have a better idea of what you want or don’t want out of your career
- What type of work will you be doing? What assignments, requirements, or skills will you be performing on a regular basis?
- You will work on a computer vision project related to multi-object detection and depth images that is directly related to our core product
- Develop algorithms that incorporate image processing and machine learning workflows using cutting-edge hardware
- You will possess the ability to convey technical ideas, and have the acuity to weigh the pros and cons of a given implementation or detail
- Develop your problem-solving skills by working on projects that have never been done at Evolv, having no playbook on how to approach or complete them
- Develop the ability to solve tough problems and work through ambiguity to reach a conclusion or decision
- Expand your knowledge and abilities in the Python programming language and the NumPy, OpenCV, and Matplotlib packages
- Contribute meaningfully to weekly Automatic Threat Detection algorithm team meetings with insights gleaned from their project
- Give two internal presentations to the Automatic Threat Detection algorithm team midway and at the end of the internship outlining your goals and accomplishments along with your code and algorithm development
- Independently brainstorm, decide on, and ultimately implement a solution to 3 problems throughout the project that can be done in collaboration with any of the Automatic Threat Detection algorithm team members
- Develop business savviness by sitting in on department Q&As and Executive Leadership presentations to gain knowledge from individuals in different departments and levels at Evolv
- You will be joining the Algorithms Team and report to one of the 5 Engineers on the team
Our take
Security screening systems are essential within venues such as concert halls, schools, and workplaces, but there are several problems with existing solutions. For example, lengthy queues and physically intimidating security checkpoints can taint visitor experiences, as well as cause congestion due to their inefficiencies.
Evolv Technology develops AI-driven screening systems, aiming to remove the tension, intimidation, and friction associated with security screening. It does this with a smart touchless screening sensor for weapon detection called Evolve Edge, in addition to an all-in-one venue security analytics platform called Evolv Express.
Whilst the company does face competition from similar security solutions at high-risk locations such as airports, its ability to serve a wide range of venues helps it stand out. With more than 1,200 customers worldwide and a platform combining proprietary hardware, visitor data, and AI-driven software delivered through long-term subscriptions, Evolv has built strong recurring revenue and durable customer relationships. Continued customer additions and expanded deployments helped drive a 40% increase in annual revenue in 2025, showing just how much the company is growing in the emerging market for AI-based weapons screening.
