About The Position

AMA is currently accepting applications for a Computer Science/Engineering intern to support work in our Hampton, VA location. The qualified candidate will work to apply the latest advancements in computer vision, including convolutional neural network (CNNs) and vision transformers (ViTs), to improve degraded imagery/video feeds during lunar landing due to plume surface interaction (PSI) effects. This internship begins September 8, 2026, and concludes December 18, 2026. Pay for this position is $23.10 - $33.50, depending on education and location. Remote work is available.

Requirements

Progress toward a degree (undergraduate or graduate) in technical areas of relevance (Physics, computer science, or Engineering)
Working knowledge and application of CNNs/ViTs to image dehazing using PyTorch.
Working knowledge of PSI scattering physics
Programming experience in C/C++, Python, Julia
Presentation skills, including creating and sharing PowerPoint presentations clearly exhibiting the design requirements, layout, and plan forward.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required, able to articulate design choices to a team of engineers and project management personnel and create clear assembly instructions.
Available to work at NASA Langley Research Facility in Hampton, Virginia or remotely.
Due to ITAR/EAR restrictions, US citizenship or permanent US residency is required.

Responsibilities

Apply computer vision, including convolutional neural network (CNNs) and vision transformers (ViTs), to improve degraded imagery/video feeds during lunar landing due to plume surface interaction effects
Iterate designs based on feedback from the engineering team (GN&C, mechanical, flight test, etc.)
Produce engineering drawings and configuration-controlled CAD packages suitable for internal design reviews
Develop reports, presentations, and other documentation, providing clear comments and guidance
Attend meetings, teleconferences, and workshops as needed
