Job Description:

Parsons is now accepting applications for our Summer 2026 Software Engineering Internship, supporting development of a new AI-enabled infrastructure inspection platform supporting development of a new AI-enabled bridge inspection capability using drone data, 360° video, localization, and voice to transform how bridge and vertical structure inspections are captured and reported.

This program offers an exciting opportunity to build end-to-end software that connects sensors, AI services, and simple UIs for engineers. You will help design and implement the inspection data pipeline, integrate speech-to-text and localization outputs, and build a lightweight review tool that turns raw data into a structured defect table and draft findings.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Design and implement the core inspection data pipeline to ingest 360° video, localization outputs, and voice-tagged defect events.

• Integrate a speech-to-text API to support “new defect” voice triggers and short spoken descriptions.

• Develop a simple web or desktop UI to review inspector paths and visualize defect points on a 2D/3D bridge representation.

• Implement generation of a structured defect list and a basic draft findings export (e.g., CSV plus Word/Markdown/PDF template).

• Collaborate closely with the Computer Vision/Robotics intern and mentor to integrate perception outputs into a usable tool for engineers.

What Qualifications You'll Bring:

• Must be enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field at an accredited college or university.

• Strong programming skills in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript, with solid software engineering fundamentals.

• Experience building small web or desktop applications (e.g., React, Vue, Flask/FastAPI, Electron, or similar).

• Familiarity with REST APIs and handling media (video, images).

• Basic experience with databases and data modeling (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQLite, or NoSQL).

• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.

• A GPA of 3.0 or higher is desirable.

• Prior internship or project experience in full-stack or data-heavy applications is preferred but not required.
