Job Description

The Robotic Visual Perception research group, part of NVIDIA’s Learning and Perception Group Research (https://research.nvidia.com/labs/lpr/ ) is looking for highly motivated PhD students for research internships. We are passionate about research that pushes boundaries, but also has impact in the real world. Our interns regularly publish their internship works in top-tier conferences in computer vision, robotics and graphics. We have many experienced mentors in the team and our interns often choose to return for another internship. We carefully craft internship projects such that they match the interns' expertise.

What you'll be doing:

• Reproduce existing state-of-the-art computer vision methods

• Research, design, and implement novel deep learning algorithms to push the state of the art in computer vision

• Publish original research

• Collaborate with other team members, research teams, as well as product teams.

• Transfer technology to product groups.

What we need to see:

• Pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, etc.

• Excellent knowledge of theory and practice of computer vision methods, as well as deep learning.

• Expertise in one of more of the following areas: computer vision, object pose estimation, 3D reconstruction, end-to-end learning of perception & controls, object affordance, sim-to-real learning of robotic policies, robotic manipulation

• Excellent programming skills in some rapid prototyping environment such as Python. C++ and parallel programming (e.g., CUDA) is a plus.

• Knowledge of common machine learning frameworks, such as PyTorch.

• Proven track record of publication in top-tier conferences.

• Excellent communications and analytical skills.
