Location: Bangalore Karnataka
Start Date: February 2026
Team: Material Systems and Inspection GE Aerospace Research

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated intern to support development of advanced computer vision and deep learning methods for non-destructive evaluation (NDE) datasets with a focus on X-ray/CT imaging and experimentation-driven model development. You will work closely with engineers and researchers to build train and evaluate models that enhance image quality extract features and improve inspection insights for industrial applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Build train and evaluate deep learning models for image enhancement denoising reconstruction and feature extraction on NDE image/volume data
• Develop robust data pipelines for preprocessing augmentation and efficient 2D/3D batching with GPU acceleration
• Design and run structured experiments (ablations hyperparameter sweeps) track metrics and iterate to improve image quality
• Analyse noise/artifacts and apply techniques to boost signal fidelity and effective resolution with clear visualizations
• Package reproducible training/inference pipelines; optimize for speed memory and reliability; contribute clean documented code
• Collaborate with NDE/imaging SMEs present progress insights and recommendations in regular reviews

Required Qualifications
