Responsibilities

  • Design and implement semantic extraction pipelines for simulation logs, vehicle trajectories, and multi-agent behavioral events.
  • Develop temporal graph models for time-varying agent interactions, road context, and safety-critical events.
  • Build a multimodal hybrid retrieval engine using dense embeddings, keyword search, and graph traversal.
  • Create interactive Jupyter or Colab-based data exploration tools and visualization dashboards.
  • Benchmark retrieval precision, recall, and query latency against tabular and relational search baselines.
  • Collaborate with simulation researchers, machine learning engineers, and software infrastructure teams on architecture and roadmap recommendations.

Requirements

  • Currently enrolled in a master's or PhD program in computer science, artificial intelligence, robotics, electrical engineering, or a related quantitative field, with at least one academic term remaining.
  • Strong software development experience in Python and/or C++ in a Linux environment.

  • Preferred: published papers in relevant AI/ML, data mining, or computer vision conferences.
  • Preferred: experience with Apache Spark, Apache Beam, distributed SQL query engines, or columnar data lakes.
  • Preferred: familiarity with temporal graphs, bi-temporal data modeling, or graph databases and tooling.
  • Preferred: interest or experience in autonomous vehicle simulation, behavior prediction, motion planning, trajectory forecasting, or multi-agent interaction modeling.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation package with a housing or relocation bonus if applicable.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance, subject to eligibility requirements.
  • Fun intern events and networking opportunities.
  • Free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks onsite.
