Mapping Software Intern

Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban environments. The internship role involves designing and developing algorithms and machine learning models for 2D/3D machine perception, while collaborating with a diverse team of researchers and engineers.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop novel algorithms and ML models for 2D/3D machine perception in real-world environments
• Stay up-to-date with the latest state-of-the-art research in computer vision and machine learning, and apply learned knowledge to improve our systems
• Coordinate cross-functional initiatives and collaborate with engineers from Mapping, Perception, Data Science, and more

Skills

• Currently working towards a B.S., M.S., Ph.D., or advanced degree in a relevant engineering program
• Must be returning to school to continue your education upon completing this internship
• Good academic standing
• Able to commit to a 12-week internship beginning in May or June of 2026
• At least one previous industry internship, co-op, or project completed in a relevant area
• Ability to relocate to the Bay Area, California or Boston for the duration of the internship
• Interns at Zoox may not use any proprietary information they are working on as part of their thesis, any published work with their university, or to be distributed to anyone outside of Zoox
