Internship at a new venture studio. AI, hardware, whatever a given project pulls in. NCR-based, in person.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼
5A Ventures is a new venture studio. We build 0→1 companies across industries that don't usually share a room: factories, legal, education, think tanks, infrastructure QC. Each company starts with a real problem in someone's actual workflow. The job is to understand it well enough to build something that solves it, then get that thing running in the place it has to run.
The first company we're building is FactoryEye — edge-AI visual inspection for factory floors (Pi 5, Hailo accelerators, hardware + software). For now, this is the job: you'd be on FactoryEye full-time, helping us get it working on real factory lines. We have a pipeline of other companies queued up behind it, and you'd roll onto the next one once FactoryEye is on its feet.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹
Most internships lock you into one product, one team, one problem. Here you start on FactoryEye, but over time you rotate across whatever the studio builds next. You'll be in the room when problems get picked and projects get killed.
If you're thinking about starting something yourself in the next year or two, this is closer to founder school than a regular internship. No HR layers, no manager-of-managers. Your output is visible. Your decisions matter.

→ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱. Sometimes that means writing software. Other times it means picking up a soldering iron, getting a 3D printer running overnight, or scrapping a prototype that didn't survive contact with the real environment and starting again.
→ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹. Train and fine-tune. Right now it's a vision model that has to run on a cheap edge device. Later, on other projects, it might be a language model that has to work somewhere with no reliable internet. Deploy it, then watch what it gets wrong.
→ 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆. Our customers aren't usually at a desk you can email. You'll travel to factories across NCR — Manesar, Faridabad, Noida, Gurgaon — and fix what breaks on the spot instead of writing it up as a ticket for later.
→ 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 — 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆. FactoryEye first, and properly. Something else once it's earned the right to step back.

𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲:
▸ Based in Delhi/NCR, in person ▸ Built something with Pi or Arduino — can show us photos or video of what you've made ▸ Comfortable with a soldering iron (or willing to get comfortable fast — we'll teach you the rest) ▸ Hindi/Hinglish for shop-floor and customer-facing work ▸ Willing to travel to factory sites across NCR (we cover transport)
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗱:
▸ Multimeter, hand tools, mechanical fixturing — mounting, clamping, getting things to hold still ▸ Camera + lighting work — diffuse vs grazing vs coaxial, or a camera+light bench project you can show us ▸ Trained or fine-tuned an ML model ▸ Python, enough to prototype ▸ Pi 5 + Hailo, or any edge NPU experience ▸ Own a 3D printer or have fab access ▸ Have demoed hardware to a real customer before
If you hit some of this and not all of it, but you've got the attitude — apply anyway. We'd rather see your work and decide for ourselves than have you filter yourself out.
