• Research and evaluate the performance of the new ML architecture on real-world and simulated data sets to solve challenging real problems.
• Translate generated algorithms into production-level code
• Collaborate with various teams to achieve objectives in improving system performance and safety
• Integrate with existing software practices that produce maintainable code, including automated testing, continuous integration, code style conformity, and code review

Skills we are looking for:

• Currently enrolled in a Masters or PhD program in CS, ECE, or similar engineering field.
• Must have very good experience in Python programming (C++ programming is a plus).
• Must show in-depth understanding of deep learning concepts and techniques in Computer vision and General AI.
• Must have experience in at least one of the deep learning frameworks such as Pytorch, Tensorflow, Keras, etc.
• Must have knowledge in at least one of the following deep learning models: Transformers, vision Transformers, CNNs, GANs.
• Experience working with Multi-modal foundation models.
• Experience working with computer vision models for object detection, semantic segmentation, depth estimation, or 3D reconstruction.
• Experience dealing with sensor data is a plus (camera, Lidar, radar).
• Experience with real and synthetic data curation for real problems is a plus.
• Ability to work with fast pace environments and implement new state of the art models.
• Must show attention to detail verbally and written.

One hour from the beach, Boston, and the mountains, the historic Amoskeag Millyard once housed the largest textile mills in the world. It is now home to DEKA Research & Development, where we are taking the same innovation and cutting-edge technology into the modern age.

Behind DEKA’s brick walls sits a team of professionals who strive to make a difference every day through thoughtful engineering, design, and manufacturing. Here at DEKA, some of the most innovative and life-changing products of our time are created, and new ideas are always welcome and explored.

Additional Information:

*Applicants should be aware that short-term housing options in Manchester, NH are limited and that DEKA is not able to assist with housing. 

Public transportation is available and routes/schedules can be found by visiting the Manchester Transit Authority website, www.mtabus.org.

Please be aware that we try to make sure that our internship opportunities are well defined and will provide a unique experience. We understand that most candidates would like to know if they have a placement as soon as possible, but at DEKA it takes more time than other companies at we review every application that is submitted.  We will try to let you know as soon as we can, but encourage you to pursue other opportunities as well.

*A full time student is defined as being enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits per semester at an undergraduate program, or a minimum of 9 credits per semester for a graduate program.
