2026 Internship Project: Software Engineering, Computer Vision & Automation
Rigetti Computing • USTypeScriptPython
Rigetti is seeking a motivated student (Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in CS, SWE, or related field) to develop a production-oriented, on-premise data automation and computer vision solution. This is an applied engineering role focused on building operational systems intended for future production integration rather than academic research.
The intern will develop a Python backend to process structured inspection data and apply image classification, design a retrainable model workflow, and contribute to a lightweight web UI for reviewing results. The intern will work closely with Defect Metrology and Software Engineering teams to ensure domain accuracy and production-quality implementation. This role is ideal for students pursuing industry careers in software engineering, machine learning engineering, or applied AI.
Educational Value
Gain hands-on experience building a production-oriented computer vision system in an industrial environment. The internship provides exposure to backend automation, machine learning integration, retraining workflows, and lightweight full-stack development. Skills developed align directly with industry roles in Software Engineering, Machine Learning Engineering, and Applied AI.
