Onsite Robotics Vision & ML Co-op

Berkshire Grey, Inc.; Bedford (MA); On-site; USD 25,000 - 39,000; Part time

Job summary

Berkshire Grey, Inc. is seeking a Spring 2027 Software Co-op to contribute to perception challenges in automated systems. You will work with robotics software teams on computer vision and ML model development, testing, and deployment in a Linux/ROS environment.

Onsite at the Bedford, MA office, the co-op runs roughly January to June 2027 with dates flexible, offering hands-on experience across hardware-software interfaces and evaluation workflows.

Qualifications

• Actively pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field.
• Experience programming in Python and/or C++.
• Experience developing in Linux (Ubuntu) and familiarity with ROS.
• Familiarity with robotics and computer vision (classical and/or learning-based approaches).
• Experience with computer vision or machine learning libraries (e.g., OpenCV, PyTorch).
• Solid understanding of object-oriented design, data structures, and algorithms.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Curious, self-motivated, and eager to learn.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with software, hardware, and systems engineers to design, test, and validate perception approaches.
• Support evaluation and testing of perception sensors, including cost-down alternatives and performance benchmarking.
• Develop and test computer vision and machine learning models (e.g., depth completion, stereo vision, object detection).
• Explore and implement model-based approaches to improve perception pipeline performance and reduce system bring-up time.
• Investigate the use of vision-language models (VLMs) for applications such as grasp ranking, SKU identification, and anomaly detection.
• Utilize simulation tools to evaluate and improve perception models and system performance.
• Develop, debug, and deploy software components for robotic systems in a Linux/ROS environment.
• Document test results and present findings to the engineering team.
