Reports to: Chief Scientist
About Signal-Wise
Signal-Wise is a Michigan-based Physical AI startup pioneering AI-driven Acoustic Fingerprinting (AIAF) technology. Our flagship product, DeepScan, uses advanced acoustic intelligence to detect hidden manufacturing defects, identify process abnormalities, and monitor equipment health —addressing critical quality inspection blind spots beyond the capabilities of conventional inspection technologies.
We serve automotive OEMs and Tier 1/2 suppliers, helping them achieve near-zero-defect manufacturing, improve productivity, and reduce warranty costs.
Position Overview
We are seeking a creative, hands-on Product Engineering Intern to support product testing, validation, and customer application development. This role offers an opportunity to work with cutting-edge acoustic AI technology and gain practical experience in product engineering, industrial applications, and customer deployments.
The intern will work closely with our engineering team and report directly to the Chief Scientist.
