AI Research Apprentice (Technical Apprenticeship Programme)

Nilesh AI Systems Pvt Ltd | Gurugram, Haryana | In office, 6 days a week | Stipend: INR 5,000 per month | Duration: 6 months

A note before the details

Thank you for taking a moment to read this. Choosing where to begin your journey in AI is a big decision, and we are grateful you are considering beginning it with us.

We are a small, close team in Gurugram building Physical AI and robotics systems for advanced engineering. Our work includes machine vision for automated quality inspection in automotive and aerospace manufacturing, and research toward training our own models. We are also an NVIDIA Inception Program partner.

This year we are opening our doors through a new technical apprenticeship programme, and this is its first cohort. We would be honoured to have you help us shape it.

Who this programme is for

This is a learning-first role for students, fresh graduates and self-taught builders who want to see how AI research turns into systems that run on real factory floors. You do not need prior industry experience. You do need curiosity, patience with hard problems, and a sincere wish to learn by doing.

We want to be open with you from the start. The programme runs for 6 months, in person, six days a week, at our Gurugram office, with a fixed stipend of INR 5,000 per month. We share this upfront out of respect for your time, so you can decide with full information whether this is right for you at this stage of your life.

• Work alongside our researchers on computer vision and machine learning problems drawn from live projects
• Read research papers, reproduce results, and present what you learned to the team
• Prepare and curate datasets, run training and evaluation experiments, and document them carefully
• Build small prototypes and tools that support our inspection and robotics work
• Keep a clear record of your experiments so others can build on themWhat we hope you bring
• Comfort with Python and the basics of machine learning or deep learning
• Some hands-on exposure to PyTorch or a similar framework, through coursework or personal projects
• A foundation in linear algebra, probability and calculus
• The habit of writing things down clearly

• Kindness, honesty about what you do not yet know, and the willingness to askGood to have
• Projects in computer vision, 3D geometry, robotics or simulation
• A GitHub profile, Kaggle work or a write-up we can read
• Familiarity with Linux and GPU training workflowsWhat you can expect from us
• Daily, direct mentorship from the Principal Scientist and the research team
• Real problems from real production lines, with your work reviewed seriously
• Access to GPU compute for your experiments
• A structured path through reading, replication and original contribution
• A team that will be glad you joined and will say soHow to apply
• Please write to careers@sftwtrs.ai with your CV, a link to any project or code you are proud of, and a few lines on a paper or idea in AI that excites you. It does not need to be polished. We read every application ourselves and we will reply.
