About the Role
Parsons is seeking a Computer Vision/Robotics Intern to support the development of a new AI-enabled infrastructure inspection capability using drone data, 360° video, localization, and voice. This internship offers an opportunity to apply robotics and computer vision to real-world infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Ingest and process 360° video, working with an off-the-shelf SLAM/localization SDK to estimate inspector position over time.
- Develop scripts and tools to map timestamps and poses to 3D locations on a simple bridge or structure model.
- Prototype basic computer vision routines (e.g., region-of-interest extraction, simple crack/rust/spall detection using existing models or APIs).
- Visualize inspector paths and defect points in 2D/3D for internal review and demos.
- Collaborate with a software intern and mentor to define interfaces between perception/localization outputs and the inspection data/reporting pipeline.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Strong programming skills in Python (and/or C++).
- Experience using libraries such as NumPy and OpenCV.
- Familiarity with SLAM, visual odometry, or robotics localization through coursework or projects.
- Comfort working with real-world sensor data (video, trajectories, etc.) and debugging noisy inputs.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
- Prior project or internship experience in robotics, computer vision, or perception is preferred but not required.
Qualifications
- Must be enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or related field at an accredited college or university.
- A GPA of 3.0 or higher is desirable.
