About Cyvl

Cyvl provides an AI infrastructure intelligence platform to enhance how engineers inspect and manage physical infrastructure. The platform utilizes vehicle-mounted 3D mapping sensors and AI algorithms to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety. Backed by Purple Arch Ventures.

About the role

Design and iterate sensor mounts and enclosures in CAD, from first sketch to printed and machined parts you can hold. Develop and run tests: design fixtures, write concise test plans and reports, and write simple scripts (Python, bash) to automate testing.

What they're looking for

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • 3D CAD fluency (SolidWorks preferred, Onshape and others welcome)
  • Experience building and running tests, including simple scripts to automate them
  • Excitement to learn new technologies and apply them quickly
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work in a collaborative environment
  • Able to work in person at our Somerville, MA office
More about this role

The best infrastructure is invisible. You only notice it when it fails. For decades, the people responsible for our roads, bridges and sidewalks have been asked to manage the physical world with tools that can't see it.

Cyvl is the Physical AI company changing that. We build purpose-built sensors, computer vision and AI that turn every drive into current data: what exists, where it is and what condition it's in. 500+ cities and towns use our Infrastructure Intelligence Platform to direct the work and fix problems before they fail. 1 in 30 Americans drive on roads managed with Cyvl data.

The proof isn't a dashboard. It's a smoother commute, a safer walk to school and public dollars going where they matter most. We're a fast-moving team in Boston building hardware, software and AI for the real world. If you believe technology's highest calling is public good, come build with us.

THE ROLE

As a Hardware Engineering Intern at Cyvl, you won't be stuck on side projects. You'll work directly on the sensor stack that rides on the vehicles mapping roads for cities across the country. You'll collaborate with our engineering and product teams and learn how hardware actually gets designed,...
