Data Science Geo Maps - Internship

The Data Science (Geo Vision) team improves Grab's maps and builds map-based intelligence (localization, routing, travel-time, traffic forecasting) using computer vision and deep learning on images, video, and GPS signals.

As a Data Science intern, you'll focus on bringing computer vision models to embedded/edge platforms for map creation — learning how perception models are optimized and deployed to run efficiently and in real time on resource-constrained hardware, alongside senior data scientists.

What you'll work on

• Help adapt and improve CV models (detection, segmentation, tracking) to run on resource-constrained edge devices.
• Apply model compression — quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation — to shrink models while preserving accuracy.
• Profile on-device performance (latency, memory, power) and help build efficient inference pipelines.
• Support training and evaluation, and use AI agents/tooling within the team's quality guidelines.

What you'll gain: hands-on experience taking deep learning models to on-device deployment, plus skills in model optimization and real-time edge performance.

• Pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Familiarity with Python and some of: PyTorch/TensorFlow, NumPy, OpenCV, scikit-learn.
• Solid ML and deep learning / computer vision fundamentals.
• Interest in or exposure to embedded systems, edge deployment, or model optimization (quantization, pruning, distillation) — a strong plus.
• Proficiency in English
• Available for the full internship, 8 hours/day, starting July/August (3 months).

Our Commitment

We are committed to building diverse teams and creating an inclusive workplace that enables all Grabbers to perform at their best, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religion, age, gender identity sexual orientation, and other attributes that make each Grabber unique.
