Vizor

VIZOR is an advanced materials and coating technology company based in NYC and New Jersey. We develop high-performance active ingredients and specialty raw materials used in personal care and consumer products.

We are currently building a next-generation, AI-powered fulfillment and manufacturing infrastructure designed specifically for modern direct-to-consumer operations. Our goal is to create one of the most minimal, intelligent, and operationally efficient autonomous fulfillment systems in the cosmetics industry.

This is not a theoretical R&D role.

You will work directly on real-world automation systems involving:

• robotics
• AI workflows
• warehouse automation
• computer vision
• packaging systems
• process engineering
• operational software systems

This is a highly hands-on, in-person role for someone excited about building practical automation systems from the ground up.

• Assist in designing and prototyping compact robotic fulfillment and warehouse automation systems
• Help develop workflows connecting inventory management, shipping systems, barcode scanning, and robotic hardware
• Work on robotic picking, lightweight computer vision, automated packaging, and labeling systems
• Train, refine, and deploy object detection models for product identification, robotic picking accuracy, packaging verification, and operational monitoring
• Support development of internal operational dashboards and automation tools
• Research practical automation technologies including robotic arms, sensors, machine vision systems, label applicators, and compact conveyor solutions
• Help optimize warehouse layouts, packaging flows, and process efficiency
• Collaborate on integrating AI agents and automation tools into operational workflows
• Participate in testing, debugging, and refining automation systems in real-world environments
• Assist with documenting SOPs, process maps, and technical systems

We are less focused on traditional credentials and more interested in builders.

You may be a fit if you have experience or strong interest in:

• robotics
• AI tools and agents
• computer vision
• object detection systems
• automation systems
• Python scripting
• Raspberry Pi / Arduino
• manufacturing systems
• warehouse operations
• industrial engineering
• startup building
• systems thinking

Experience working with object detection frameworks such as:

• YOLOv10 / YOLOv11 (Ultralytics)
• Detectron2
• RF-DETR
• Grounding DINO

…is highly desirable.

Bonus points for experience with:

• ROS (Robot Operating System)
• OpenCV
• automation APIs
• warehouse management systems
• CAD or spatial design tools
• low-code/no-code automation platforms
• LLM workflows and AI orchestration
• edge AI deployment
• custom model training and dataset labeling

• Highly curious and self-driven mindset
• Strong problem-solving ability
• Builder mentality — you enjoy creating systems, not just discussing them
• Ability to move quickly and learn independently
• Comfortable working in ambiguous startup environments
• Strong attention to detail and operational thinking
• Interest in practical, minimalist engineering rather than overengineered solutions

This internship sits at the intersection of:

• AI
• robotics
• industrial design
• operational engineering
• and real-world automation

You will help architect systems that directly impact how physical products move through a business.

Rather than working on isolated academic projects, you’ll help build automation infrastructure intended for real operational deployment.
