Engineering Intern - Crucible Synthetic NEI (Summer 2027)

Millennial Software is hiring Engineering Interns to build a synthetic non-Earth imagery generator for Crucible, its agentic modeling and simulation platform. The role focuses on generating spacecraft imagery with component segmentation masks and labeled datasets, with stretch work in segmentation-model training and populating Target Model Database records.

Responsibilities:

• Build a rendering module in Crucible using open 3D spacecraft models and a parametric scene generator (orbit geometry, target pose, illumination and self-shadowing, sensor range and resolution, noise and blur)
• Emit per-component segmentation masks with every rendered frame; record rendering parameters per frame so any image can be regenerated
• Produce a labeled dataset of several thousand frames across multiple targets; demonstrate dataset generation for a new target in under one working day
• Stretch: fine-tune a segmentation model from a published architecture, run training and evaluation in Keystone against a held-out synthetic set
• Stretch: post-process predicted components into TMDB schema fields and populate one record end to end
• Document the pipeline and present at the leadership readout
