Fall '26 Intern - Perception/Robotics
moss•San Francisco, CA
About The Position
At moss.ag, we build robots to go where humans won't, digitizing the physical outdoor world to make it machine-readable. We are starting with tree farms, where a single field holds millions of plants no human has ever fully inventoried. We are a small team of practical engineers with a long-term vision. We focus on real, messy, on-the-ground problems today, while working toward a future where autonomous field robots make harsh outdoor jobs easier and safer. If our mission aligns with how you work and think, we’d love to learn more about you!
Requirements
- Impressive technical projects beyond the classroom in robotics, perception, machine learning, computer vision, mapping, or related fields
- Strong programming skills in C++, Python, or Rust
- Hands-on experience with at least one of the following: 3D sensor data, point clouds, or sensor fusion; Machine learning or computer vision; Localization, mapping, navigation, controls, or robot behaviors
- Comfortable working in Linux and debugging real systems
- Excited to learn quickly, take ownership, and test your work on real robots
Nice To Haves
- Experience with LiDAR, cameras, model training, CUDA, or edge deployment is valuable but not required.
Responsibilities
- Own projects from research and design through prototyping, deployment, and iteration on real robots
- Build perception and mapping systems that turn multi-sensor data into useful, production-ready outputs
- Train and evaluate machine-learning models using custom outdoor datasets
- Develop sensor fusion across LiDAR, cameras, GPS, and environmental sensors
- Build and improve localization, navigation, controls, and robot behaviors
- Integrate perception, autonomy, and hardware into reliable end-to-end robotic systems
- Develop tools for data collection, labeling, training, evaluation, simulation, and field debugging
- Optimize models and algorithms for latency, memory usage, and reliability on edge hardware
- Test and deploy robotic systems during real-world customer operations
- Collaborate closely with perception, software, electrical, and mechanical engineers
