About The Position

Pravah is building foundational intelligence for the electric grid. We apply modern machine learning to complex physical infrastructure problems spanning grid operations, weather, and geospatial systems. Our work sits at the intersection of computer vision, physical systems, and large-scale ML, with deployments across utilities in the United States and India. We leverage multimodal data - including satellite imagery, LiDAR, and street-level data - to build high-fidelity representations of grid assets and their surroundings. We are backed by Khosla Ventures, Pear VC, and Conviction.

Role Overview: We are seeking highly motivated students with strong foundations in mathematics, machine learning, and computational methods to join us for a summer internship. As an ML Intern at Pravah, you will work on real, open-ended technical problems at the frontier of AI and physical systems.
