Job Description

The Role

🚀 The Data Driven Engineering team from Bosch Transmission Technology is looking for an enthusiastic intern!

Licensing pre-trained vision models and investing in specialized hardware incur significant ongoing costs, especially on the E-Stack production line. This internship assignment aims to assess if these investments are necessary by evaluating the potential of self-trained vision models and low-cost hardware solutions. The outcome will inform whether existing vision implementations can be refactored to adopt a cost-effective, on-premises approach, thereby enhancing production efficiency and reducing expenses. 

🛠️ Your Tasks

• Conduct an in-depth evaluation of current pre-trained models to map alternative opportunities for in-house development;

• Work closely with Shopfloor workers to define inspection criteria and engage with Data Scientists to benchmark model performance;

• Develop and test a prototype of a vision inspection application that integrates self-trained models and meets software standards;

• Prepare comprehensive documentation detailing methodologies, test outcomes, and a cost-benefit analysis;

• Develop a detailed implementation roadmap for the scalable rollout of vision inspections. 

Qualifications

🎓 What You Bring:

• You are currently studying computer science, engineering, or a similar direction;

• Experience with machine learning and computer vision techniques;

• Familiarity with computer vision frameworks (e.g., OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch);

• Knowledge of software development, including prototyping and API integration;

• Basic understanding of hardware used in vision inspection and sensor integration;

• You are proficient in English verbal and written;
• You are available for the minimum internship period of 6 months, preferably longer;
• You can work at our office in Tilburg;
• You are based in the Netherlands, preferably near Tilburg.

🌟 What distinguishes you:

• Experience with pre-trained models such as Halcon or YOLO. 

• Experience with low-cost hardware solutions (e.g., GoPro). 

• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies. 

• Insight into digital transformation and production processes in the manufacturing industry.
