About the Role
Gritt is an intelligent system that combines robotics and AI to build infrastructure. Our internships are scoped projects where you own a defined deliverable end-to-end, work with a dedicated mentor, and demo your work to the whole team. Many interns receive return or full-time offers. This will be an internship for one of two durations: 3 months, or 6 months. We offer competitive salaries and the opportunity to work on a mission with tremendous climate impact.
Responsibilities
- Train policies (imitation learning, RL, or fine-tuned foundation models) for real robot tasks.
- Build data collection and evaluation pipelines; run ablations.
- Deploy policies on hardware and iterate against real-world performance.
- Test your work on real robots at the office.
- Get hands-on with pose estimation, VLM, VLA, 3D scene reconstruction, object detection, and multimodal learning.
- Get the opportunity to publish (for PhD interns).
- Attend Tier-1 industry conferences.
Requirements
- Pursuing MS/PhD in ML, Robotics, CS, or related field (exceptional undergraduates welcome).
- Strong PyTorch; solid grounding in deep learning and one of IL/RL.
- Applied evidence: publications, open-source, or substantial course/competition projects.
- Comfortable taking ownership of tasks with light supervision.
- Excellent problem-solving skills.
- Legally authorized to do an internship in the United States for either 3 months or 6 months.
