As an intern, you will work on all the above, as well as make meaningful progress on your own project assignments. Extensive work experience is not required, however a deep technological curiosity and a bias for action when it comes to problem solving are. We like lifelong learners who don’t mind diverse tasking and are ok with breadth over depth when it comes to workload (we’re talking about you, generalists!).

• Collaborate with vehicle engineering teams testing novel in-vehicle technologies
• Off-load & process data collected onboard vehicles and/or benchtop vehicle proxies
• Assist engineering & IT teams as necessary with day-to-day operations, inventory management, and computer hardware assembly & disassembly
• Support the operation of research studies, including participant scheduling, proctoring, and data handling

What You’ll Bring:

• Current enrollment in a 2 or 4-year degree program
• Technological curiosity and an insatiable desire to learn and problem solve
• Advanced computer skills and proficiency in a wide array of common software tools
• A critical eye as to what makes for good software
• Flexibility to work on a wide range of projects and ability to adapt quickly
• Strong organizational and communication skills

Bonus Points For:

  • Linux
  • Basic computer networking
  • IT system administration
  • File systems and databases
  • User interface design and user experience
• Experience building your own PC or similar tinkering with electronics

You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you are excited about this role and think you can bring value to Quantum Signal AI, we encourage you to apply!

What You’ll Get:

• Frequent collaboration with a diverse set of teams at QSAI
• A relaxed, fun community and environment in which to solve interesting problems  
• Opportunity to participate in a 401(k) savings plan
• Ford AXZ-Plan vehicle discounts

About QSAI:

Founded in 1999, Quantum Signal grew up developing intelligent algorithms and AI. As our engineering R&D services expanded, we later sharpened our focus on applications and technology related to mobility, sensing, perception, autonomy, and simulation. In 2019 we became Quantum Signal AI, a subsidiary of Ford Motor developing technologies to advance their R&D efforts. We build solutions to enhance the capability, robustness, safety, and acceptance of intelligent ground vehicles in an effort to make transportation more effective and efficient for all.

Our HQ in the historic Union School in Saline, MI is the perfect playground to develop this cutting-edge technology and we’re always looking for smart folks who like new challenges, learning new skills, and technical variety.
