Computer Vision/Machine Learning Internship

Scandit is a high-growth tech scaleup from Switzerland with offices in Zurich, Boston, Warsaw, London, Singapore, Tokyo, and Tampere. Our market-leading smart data capture technology enables businesses to use any standard mobile phone to extract data from barcodes, ID documents, text, and objects. 

The development teams at Scandit build cutting edge computer vision and machine learning solutions. Our mission is to replace every laser scanner in the world with a Scandit powered mobile app and improve the workflows of our customers through augmented reality and mapping solutions.

About the Internship

We are looking for students with a passion for computer vision or machine learning to join one of the teams in Zürich for four to six months. You will be a part of product development and you will help us improve and extend algorithms and their automated testing infrastructure.

Scandit is a great place to apply the theory from your studies and learn best practices used in the industry in an international team.

What You Will Do

We have many interesting projects to offer. Depending on your background and interests, you could work on one of the following projects:

• Improve barcode scanning algorithms in difficult scenarios such as surfaces with deformations, glare or reflections
• Enhance the real-time visual tracking and pose estimation system of our solutions through the integration of additional sensor measurements and cutting-edge machine learning algorithms
• Program mobile graphics processors (GPUs) to accelerate computer vision algorithms
• Enhance our real-time visualization system to analyze and develop our computer vision algorithms
• Reduce manual steps in our image annotation tools with smart algorithms
• Develop image classification, matching and / or reconstruction features in order to improve the algorithms for understanding the current state of shelves and products in supermarkets.

Our Tech Stack

• Computer vision algorithms: C++17, CMake
• Machine learning training and tooling, cloud processing: Python, Pytorch
• Acceleration: SIMD, Vulkan, CoreML

Who You Are

• Highly motivated student, interested in an internship of four months or longer
