Computer Vision Engineering Intern (Summer 2026)
About The Position
Vectech builds AI-powered tools that identify mosquitoes and ticks from images, helping public health organizations make faster, smarter decisions about vector control. Our computer vision models are deployed in the real world, which means they encounter things they weren't trained on: new geographic regions, local species variants, unfamiliar phenotypes. And when that happens, model performance drifts. This internship is about understanding that drift. You'll work with our computer vision team to develop analysis methods that track how geographic and genetic diversity affect model performance in the field, and to identify early warning signs that a model needs retraining. This is real MLOps work on a deployed production system, not a toy dataset.
Requirements
- Proficiency in Python, and familiarity with either TensorFlow or PyTorch
- Some hands-on experience in computer vision, image processing, or machine learning: research, grad school, coursework, or personal projects all count
- Exposure to Linux systems
- Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or above
- Readiness to learn fast and adapt
- Genuine curiosity about public health and environmental science
Nice To Haves
- Experience with MLOps concepts (model monitoring, dataset drift, retraining pipelines)
- Familiarity with SQL and data visualization tools
- Experience contributing to shared codebases (Git)
- Prior experience analyzing real-world deployed model performance
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with the product management team to develop and maintain dashboards that track product usage and performance
- Analyze data from computer vision systems deployed in the field to generate insights and identify trends
- Create clean, intuitive visualizations to support internal reporting and external communications
- Assist in preparing figures and data summaries for presentations, publications, or stakeholder meetings
- Help ensure data quality and consistency across different sources and platforms
- Respond to data requests with curiosity, efficiency, and just enough skepticism to keep us all honest
- Participate in team meetings, contribute to project planning, and ask great questions
- Make SQL queries, prepare datasets, and train computer vision models on various research problems
- Support development of improved modules in Vectech's computer vision suite
