Data Collection/Processing Intern

## About Juxta Juxta builds real-world datasets used to train and improve AI systems. High-quality models start with high-quality data, and our data collection operations are a critical part of that process. We’re looking for a **Data Processing Intern** to work hands-on with our data collection team, helping ensure that the data we collect in the field is accurate, consistent, and ready to be used for model training. ## What You’ll Do This is a hands-on role that combines **field data collection, quality assurance, and data preprocessing**.

You’ll work directly with Juxta’s data collectors and accompany them to different collection locations. Your responsibilities will include: * **Support field data collection:** Travel with Juxta’s data collectors to different locations and help oversee collection sessions. * **Ensure collection quality:** Verify that collectors are following the correct procedures, equipment is configured properly, and collected data meets Juxta’s quality standards. * **Identify issues in real time:** Catch problems such as incorrect setups, missing data, inconsistent collection procedures, or corrupted files before they affect an entire collection session. * **Validate collected data:** Review datasets after collection to confirm that files are complete, correctly organized, and usable. * **Preprocess data:** Prepare raw collected data for downstream training workflows, including cleaning, organizing, formatting, filtering, and validating data. * **Document collection sessions:** Maintain clear records of collection conditions, issues encountered, and any changes that may affect the resulting dataset. * **Improve our processes:** Work with the Juxta team to identify recurring data-quality issues and improve collection and preprocessing workflows. ## What We’re Looking For * Strong attention to detail and an ability to spot inconsistencies * Comfortable working with files, datasets, and basic technical workflows * Ability to follow detailed data-collection protocols and ensure others follow them consistently * Strong organizational and problem-solving skills * Comfortable working both independently and directly with a field team * Willingness to travel locally to different data collection locations * Interest in AI, machine learning, data engineering, robotics, computer vision, or related fields * Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Statistics, or a related technical field ## Nice to Have * Experience working with Python * Familiarity with data cleaning or preprocessing using tools such as Python, NumPy, Pandas, or similar * Experience working with large datasets, sensor data, images, video, audio, or other multimodal data * Familiarity with machine learning training pipelines or dataset preparation * Previous experience with field research, data collection, QA, or technical operations ## What You’ll Learn You’ll get direct exposure to the process of building real-world datasets for AI—from collecting raw data in the field to preparing it for model training.

You’ll work closely with Juxta’s technical and operations teams and develop practical experience with **data quality, preprocessing, AI training pipelines, and large-scale data operations**. This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys being hands-on, cares deeply about getting the details right, and wants to understand how high-quality training data is actually created.
