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 help governments build infrastructure faster with hardware, software, and AI — turning street-level capture into living intelligence that 500+ cities and towns across the country use to see what's out there, direct the work, and fix problems before they fail.
We believe in a future where infrastructure keeps up with society. Every street, sidewalk, bridge … everywhere. The proof isn't a dashboard. It's a smoother commute, a safer walk to school, public dollars going where they matter most.
We're a fast-moving team in Boston building for the real world. If you believe technology's highest calling is public good, come build with us.
As a Hardware Summer Engineering Intern at Cyvl, you won’t be stuck on side projects. You'll work directly on our sensor stack that ride 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, tested, and built in a fast-moving startup.
Design and iterate sensor mounts and enclosures in CAD, from first sketch to printed and machined parts you can hold.
Ability to develop and execute tests including designing fixtures, writing concise test plans and reports, and writing simple scripts(python, bash) to automate testing.
Work closely with engineers who will invest in your growth — regular pairing and direct feedback on your work.
Currently pursuing a degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
3D CAD fluency. Preference is to Solidworks but Onshape, etc is welcomed as well!
Ability to develop and execute tests including designing fixtures, writing concise test plans and reports, and writing simple scripts(python, bash) to automate testing.
