Job Description

The Computer Vision group at MERL, in collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America, is seeking a highly skilled graduate student for an internship position for Online Pose Estimation of vehicles using machine vision. The research work is expected to be deployed in real-world applications such as vehicle range and pose detection. Candidates should have advanced knowledge of full-6D pose estimation from stereo imaging using both Machine Learning and geometric approaches, point cloud processing using ML and computational geometry. Exceptional programming skills are required, including ROS, C++ and Python. The expected start date is Sep/Oct 2022 and the duration of the internship is 6 months.

Research Areas: Computer Vision

MERL's internship program gives students excellent opportunities to work in an industrial research lab environment side-by-side with world-class researchers.

A primary intent of the program is to provide interns with experience that could help them enhance and accelerate their professional career, while also contributing to new or ongoing initiatives at MERL. Interns will be exposed to relevant industrial problems ranging from speculative and exploratory research to more practical engineering tasks. We hope that all interns have a chance to become familiar with our organization and the open research culture at MERL, produce publishable work, and develop an appreciation for how breakthrough research makes an impact on future products.

MERL considers graduate students from all over the world. As many of our projects benefit from specialized knowledge in a given field, graduate students pursuing a Ph.D. typically fill the majority of internship openings.

The duration of a typical internship varies from 3 months to 1 year, with the majority of interns being employed during the summer months. As the summer is a very busy time, we encourage applications for non-summer internships and also prefer early applications for summer internships. Hiring decisions for the summer are typically made around February/March to allow enough time for any necessary paperwork (such as visa applications or other work eligibility forms) to be completed.
