Seeing Machines Hiring for Software Engineer – Summer Internship Job at Canberra, Australia Full Time

As the world grapples with impacts of road and traffic accidents, increased air travel and the emergence of automated vehicle technology, Seeing Machines enhances safety with camera-based driver monitoring technology.

We are seeking the brightest minds to help us continue to create and deliver technologically advanced solutions. If you have a passion to drive positive impact by contributing to our vision of getting everyone home safely, this 12-week paid internship could give you the opportunity you are looking for!

Seeing Machines is a world leader in driver-machine interaction. We harness human factors science to create artificial intelligence (AI) technology that observes the driver’s attention – reliably, unobtrusively, and in real time – and intervenes seamlessly when necessary.

Specialised computer vision algorithms underpin Seeing Machines’ core camera-based driver monitoring technology. Algorithms allow us to precisely track eye gaze, head position and pupil size while our state-of-the-art AI technology analyses the data to quickly and accurately detect driver drowsiness, distraction and microsleep levels. We work with some of the world’s leading brands to deliver this technology, helping keep drivers and operators engaged across commercial transport and logistics, automotive, aviation, rail and mining industries.

The WHY of our technology

• According to the World Health Organisation, over 1.3 million people die in road accidents, globally.
• The American Automobile Association says that 1 in every 10 auto accidents in the US is fatigue related and that 25% of US car accidents are caused by distraction.
• European Commission recommends that camera-based driver monitoring technology be mandated to enhance safety in cars, vans, trucks, and buses from 2022.
• Air traffic is set to double over 15 years and the world’s aviation fleet is set to double in 20 years. This creates a huge demand for more pilots and air traffic management which increases pressure on training and safety frameworks for the aviation industry, globally.
• Seeing Machines’ Guardian technology for commercial fleets has been scientifically proven to reduce fatigue related driver events by more than 90%.
