Micro-Intern: Research Assistant (IAP - Alumni Host)

Cartesian is building spatial intelligence for indoor environments to improve operational efficiency and in-store inventory visibility. The micro-intern will own a defined R&D project, visiting retail stores to collect datasets, developing data-processing scripts, optimizing machine learning models and pipelines, and improving production model accuracy and data collection tools.

What you'll do:

• Visit fashion retail stores (mostly in Boston area) to run experiments and collect high-quality datasets for evaluating our product
• Develop scripts to process and analyze large datasets
• Optimize machine learning models and processing pipelines for cost and efficiency
• Improve the accuracy of the outputs of our production models
• Improve data collection tools to make them more automated, reliable, and easier to use

What they're looking for:

• You can write software to solve problems effectively, whether it's wrangling data, generating analytical reports, or optimizing parts of pipelines
• You are able to take a task, break it down, solve it with minimal oversight
• You make sure work is completed, even if you hit roadblocks
• You like digging deep into unfamiliar territory, and you quickly pick up new skills along the way
