About the job
Join Rigetti Computing as a dynamic intern in our 2026 Internship Project, where you'll have the opportunity to develop cutting-edge, production-ready data automation and computer vision solutions. This role is tailored for students at the undergraduate, master's, or PhD level pursuing degrees in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Rather than focusing on academic research, this position emphasizes the practical application of engineering principles to build operational systems designed for future production integration.
As an intern, you will be responsible for crafting a robust Python backend to process structured inspection data, implement image classification techniques, and design a retrainable model workflow. Additionally, you will contribute to the development of an intuitive web interface for reviewing results. Collaborating closely with our Defect Metrology and Software Engineering teams, you will ensure precision and production-quality implementation. This internship is an excellent opportunity for those looking to launch their careers in software engineering, machine learning engineering, or applied artificial intelligence.
Educational Value
Gain invaluable hands-on experience in building a production-oriented computer vision system within an industrial setting. This internship offers exposure to backend automation, machine learning integration, retraining workflows, and lightweight full-stack development, equipping you with skills that align perfectly with industry roles in Software Engineering, Machine Learning Engineering, and Applied AI.
