About The Role

We are looking for a passionate Research Intern to help build the AI Research Team at Applied Intuition.

  • Work closely with the Research Scientists and Engineers on high quality research publications for submission to top-tier conferences

We’re looking for someone who has:

  • Strong research skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively on projects
  • Current PhD (or MSc) studies in machine learning and computer vision

Autonomy is one of the leading technological advances of this century that will come to impact our lives. The work you’ll do at Applied will meaningfully accelerate the efforts of the top autonomy teams in the world. At Applied, you will have a unique perspective on the development of cutting edge technology while working with major players across the industry and the globe.
