Role at a Glance

Gecko Robotics is seeking an AI/ML Engineering Intern to join our Engineering team in New York for Summer 2027.

What you'd do

Own a scoped machine learning project from problem framing through evaluation and integration, under the guidance of experienced engineers.
Build data pipelines in Python that clean, label, and structure NDT sensor data, documents, or operational records for model training and inference.
Train, evaluate, and iterate on models, and design evaluations that reflect how the output will be used in the field.
Integrate a model or LLM-based workflow into a service or tool that other engineers and Forward Deployment Engineers can use.
Investigate failure modes on messy, real-world data, document what you find, and recommend what to fix next.
Use version control, code review, testing, and experiment tracking to produce work others can reproduce and build on.
Present your project, results, and recommended next steps at the end of the internship.

What they want

Currently pursuing a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in computer science, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, physics, or a related technical discipline, with an expected graduation date between December 2027 and May 2028.
Ability to work onsite in New York, Monday through Friday, for the full Summer 2027 internship.
Strong programming experience in Python, including writing well-structured, tested code beyond notebooks.
Coursework or project experience in machine learning, including training and evaluating models on real datasets.
Working understanding of linear algebra, probability, and statistics.
Working familiarity with Git or similar version control systems.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain results, quantify uncertainty, and collaborate on ambiguous problems.
Ability to independently close knowledge gaps, stay organized, and learn from feedback.

About Gecko Robotics · Software Engineering

You are an engineer who happens to work in machine learning. You care whether a model works on real data, not just on a benchmark, and you are comfortable owning the code around the model: the pipeline, the evaluation, and the integration. You approach new problems methodically, communicate clearly about results and uncertainty, and are excited to be the first person to look at a problem. At Gecko, our people are our greatest investment.
