The Role
We're looking for a Machine Vision Lab Intern to join our Dallas-based lab team. This is a physical, hands-on role working directly with the hardware and infrastructure that powers KoiReader's Facilities Intelligence Platform — cameras, sensors, lenses, edge servers, robots, networking equipment, and more.
This is NOT a software development role. You'll be in the lab and occasionally in the field, setting up, configuring, testing, and troubleshooting real hardware in real environments. You'll work closely with our U.S. and offshore product teams, so flexibility in working hours is required to accommodate collaboration across time zones.
Exceptional interns will be considered for a full-time employment offer as part of our Professional Services / Operations team upon successful completion of the internship.
What You'll Do
- Set up, configure, and test machine vision hardware including cameras, lenses, sensors, and edge computing devices
- Perform device-level and OS-level configurations on edge servers and embedded systems
- Install, mount, and calibrate vision hardware in lab and client site environments
- Troubleshoot hardware, connectivity, and integration issues across the full device stack
- Configure and manage networking equipment (switches, routers, PoE hardware, VLANs, etc.) in lab settings
- Coordinate with offshore product and engineering teams on hardware validation and deployment tasks
- Support client site visits and on-site hardware deployments as needed
- Maintain detailed lab documentation including setup guides, configuration logs, and test results
- Assist in evaluating new cameras, sensors, and edge hardware for performance and compatibility
What We're Looking For
Required:
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Network Engineering, IT, or a related hands-on technical field
- Comfort working with physical hardware — setting up, cabling, configuring, and troubleshooting devices
- Basic understanding of networking concepts (IP addressing, switches, routers, PoE)
- Familiarity with Linux OS configuration at the device level
- Strong attention to detail, a problem-solving mindset, and ability to work independently
- Flexibility to adjust working hours to collaborate with offshore teams when needed
- Must be located in or able to commute to Dallas, TX (daily on-site presence required)
- Willingness to travel to client sites in the Dallas area or other cities as occasionally needed
Nice to Have:
- Hands-on experience with IP cameras, RTSP streams, or video hardware
- Exposure to edge computing platforms (NVIDIA Jetson, Intel NUC, or similar)
- Familiarity with basic networking tools (ping, traceroute, Wireshark, etc.)
- Experience racking/cabling servers or setting up AV/security camera systems
- Prior lab, field technician, or IT support experience
What You'll Get
- Hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI hardware deployed at Fortune 50 companies
- Direct mentorship from experienced hardware and systems engineers
- Exposure to enterprise-grade physical AI infrastructure at scale
- A dynamic, collaborative startup environment in the heart of Dallas
- PATH TO FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT — exceptional interns will be considered for FTE roles upon completion as part of our growing Professional Services team
