Machine Vision Intern

Machine Vision Internship

A brilliant opportunity for a current undergraduate or postgraduate student to gain hands‑on experience at a growing UK‑based AI start‑up working at the forefront of machine vision. This internship offers the chance to get stuck into real‑world projects involving data collection, software tooling, and hands‑on sensor deployment—ideal for someone excited by the intersection of hardware, data and intelligent system.

Our client values absolute top academics – requires a 2.1 or first from an internationally renowned university and all A's at A‑Level (or equivalent).

Due to the nature of some client projects, you must be willing and eligible to obtain DV Security Clearance.
