Perception Intern, Summer 2026 at Mach9

As a Perception Intern at Mach9, you will contribute to a range of projects that are critical to the development and enhancement of our core products. You will have the opportunity to work on advanced 2D image and 3D point cloud models for object and panoptic detection, focusing on urban and roadway features such as traffic lights, utility poles, curbs, and painted road markings. Develop an initial prototype to detect paint lines and curbs on roadways. (This project ended up developing into one of our new products). Develop an initial prototype to detect paint lines and curbs on roadways. (This project ended up developing into one of our new products). Bring our perception models and algorithms into a real-time detection domain, trading off accuracy for speed to run on an advanced edge mapping hardware system.
