About The Position

Join Planet's Edge Compute Team as an Edge Compute Spacecraft Intern! We conduct tech demos and operational constellations and we're designing, manufacturing and launching record-breaking numbers of spacecraft. As an intern and under the mentorship of experienced professionals, you will be an integral part of our design process, prototyping and testing edge compute modules and algorithms for processing data onboard satellites. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn, grow, and engage with seasoned Planeteers from teams such as the analytics machine learning team and work to co-develop edge computing solutions for Planet’s next generation of spacecraft. This is a full-time, remote position based in Denver, CO. If located near an office, you are expected to work from that office 3 days per week.

Requirements

Experience with computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning-based approaches
Ability deploying algorithms and solutions to solve real-world problems in computationally constrained environments
Proficiency in C++, Python, or related tools and system SW architecture
MS or PhD in EE/CS/Physics

Nice To Haves
