Product Engineering Internship - GeoAI Workflows

Overview

Esri is the world leader in geographic information systems (GIS) and developer of ArcGIS, the leading mapping and analytics software used in 75 percent of Fortune 500 companies. At the Esri R&D Center-New Delhi, we are applying cutting-edge AI and deep learning techniques to revolutionize geospatial analysis and derive insight from imagery and location data. We are passionate about applying data science and artificial intelligence to solve some of the world's biggest challenges.

Our team develops tools, APIs, and AI models for geospatial analysts and data scientists, enabling them to leverage the latest research in spatial data science, AI, and geospatial deep learning. Our product engineers provide a strong technical voice in the product development process and use the best tools available to build highly reliable, sustained, and evolutionary software.

As a Product Engineering Intern, you will contribute to the evaluation, benchmarking, testing, and analysis of geospatial AI systems and foundation models such as GeoVLM. You will work closely with engineers and researchers on workflows involving model validation, downstream-task benchmarking, embedding-based analysis, developer tooling, and reproducible testing pipelines. This role is ideal for candidates interested in the intersection of GIS, AI/ML, product engineering, and developer workflows.
