Machine Vision Intern

Job Description

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 those with absolute top academics - therefore, requires a 2.1 or 1st from internationally renowned university and all A's at A-Level (or international equivalent).

Due to the nature of some client projects, you must be willing and eligible to obtain DV Security Clearance. This generally requires a long-term UK residency history (typically 10+ years) and the ability to pass government security vetting. You can join the team and work on other commercial projects while your clearance application is progressing.

Location: North Uttlesford / Greater Cambridge Area – mix of office, lab, and fieldwork (5 days per week)

Salary: £30,000 pro rata

Duration: 2–3 months, with flexible start date (potential to extend)
