Grayhat Summer Internship - 2025

Upon arrival at Grayhat, interns are given meaningful work assignments that have a direct impact on the business. Interns set a personal development goal as well as professional development goals with their managers on their first day. These goals allow interns to drive their own career development and experiences while at Grayhat.

We give interns the autonomy to create, get involved, make mistakes, and get a chance to tug on the turbulent industry ropes.

As part of our continued movement to push the boundaries of human communication, Grayhat supervised Babelfish, a real-time voice translation engine, in a collaboration with BIOMISA.

BIOMISA is a lab at College of EME, NUST leading the research in BioMedical Image and Signal Analysis. It's led by Dr. Usman Akram who is one of the youngest PhDs of Pakistan, working in AI in healthcare.

After struggling with introducing Omni to professional video editors, we found it necessary to build an open-source video-indexing engine which could later be ported to Adobe Premiere Pro.

Grayhat self-hosts most of its digital infrastructure, on its on-premises server systems. To make work smoother, we have a "stack" of tools we use. This project aimed to make that stack more deeply integrated with one another.

Where we build deepfakes (for good), we also needed a protection and tagging verification for our generations.

We rebuilt our original dubbing engine for Urdu, in our collaboration with UrduX.

UrduX is a lab at FAST NUCES leading the research in Natural Language Processing. It's led by Dr. Mehreen Alam who is a dedicated researcher and a proud Pakistani who wants to push the boundaries of AI in Pakistan. She is truly aiming for academic and industry collaboration.

Depends. Grayhat has a policy of hiring part-time people only from their FYP/Thesis groups.

Your academic supervisor is your primary supervisor. They will guide you in terms of:

1. • Timelines with the university
   • How to conduct academic research
   • They will review your academic submissions
   • Q/A and technical details/guidance on deliverables

A Grayhat representative would be your secondary supervisor. They will guide you in terms of:

1. • Conducting product market research
   • Properly structuring your team
   • Running the SDLC (or equivalent)
   • Product mindset
   • Drive to deploy to market

Note that neither of them are project managers. We don't manage projects, we just enable students to be the best they can be. It is up to them to learn the professionalism and delivery. We allow them access into our networks so they can interact with academia across Pakistan, our engineers and our designers.

Yes. But first fill out the form, let's talk, and we can figure out the details with your university afterwards.
