Internship in Computer Vision for Marine and Ports (80-100%)

CHF 35'000 – 55'000 / year

ABB Corporate Research, in close collaboration with its different business areas, is developing the foundations for the next generation of ABB products. We would like to give a motivated student an opportunity to complete a six-month internship with a multidisciplinary team at the Sensing and Analytics group of ABB. At ABB, we envisioned future marine and port operations that are safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. To realize this future, we are developing advanced technological solutions that are based on various sensing modalities. During this internship, you will have an opportunity to work on different aspects of a system for marine and port automation. The focus is on machine learning algorithms. You will work with synthetic and real-world data from various sensors (e.g., camera or LiDAR).

Your role and responsibilities

  • Exploration of current challenges in Marine or Ports via direct interaction with ABB R&D units
  • Review of academic literature
  • Design, evaluation and documentation of potential solutions
  • Quick prototyping of solutions through proof-of-concept implementations

Qualifications for the role
