Geospatial AI/ML Summer Intern

Moody's is a global leader in ratings and integrated risk assessment, leveraging AI to turn today’s risks into tomorrow’s opportunities. They foster an inclusive environment where innovative ideas are exchanged.

About the Role

As an AI/ML Intern in the Geospatial team, you will contribute to high-impact programs developing advanced AI/ML capabilities, including Large Vision Models (LVMs) and Generative/Agentic AI, to extract insights from large-scale satellite and aerial imagery. These capabilities enable scalable analysis of remote sensing data, supporting accurate detection of objects, patterns, and temporal changes. Key initiatives include the Global Property Project and Global Renewable Energy Project. This role offers hands-on experience with scalable, production-grade AI systems.

Responsibilities

• Developing and applying vision models to geospatial challenges.
• Working on tasks such as: Image enhancement (denoising, super-resolution), building footprint extraction, renewable asset detection, multi-temporal change detection.
• Supporting the integration of LVMs and generative AI into production workflows.

Requirements

Skills and Competencies

• Strong foundation in machine learning, computer vision, and numerical methods.
• Experience with CNN-based architectures and modern vision models.
• Solid understanding of remote sensing techniques, including:
  • Image classification and segmentation
  • Change detection and decorrelation
  • Processing of hyperspectral and multispectral imagery
• Proficiency in Python, with hands-on experience in:
  • Machine Learning frameworks (Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, GluonCV)
  • Image processing & geospatial libraries (OpenCV, GDAL, GeoPandas, Rasterio)
• Familiarity with GIS tools (ESRI suite, QGIS, GRASS).
• Exposure to Google Earth Engine is a plus.

Education

• Pursuing post-graduation (Masters/PhD) in Geoinformatics, Remote Sensing, Earth Sciences, Computer Science.
• Or Graduate in Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Environmental Science from an institute of good repute.

About the Team

The Geospatial Team (Model Development Group) is responsible for developing critical geospatial datasets, exposure intelligence, and modeling components that underpin Moody’s industry-leading catastrophe risk solutions. The team is involved in exciting work developing geospatial datasets for catastrophe models, advancing AI-powered geospatial analytics, and delivering innovative solutions in renewable energy intelligence, event response, and damage assessment to support global risk insights and decision-making.
