About the role#
This is a research internship focused on advancing foundation models for multimodal and sensor-rich environments. You will explore how AI systems learn generalizable representations from heterogeneous data, including time series, audio, vision, and physical sensor signals. You will work alongside Bosch researchers to address open problems at the intersection of multimodal learning, foundation models, and real-world sensing. This role offers access to datasets across mobility, manufacturing, robotics, and intelligent systems, with the potential to turn your research into publications and prototypes.
What you'll do#
- Formulate research questions and develop new methods.
- Build experimental prototypes.
- Work with researchers and domain experts to understand how your approaches perform on real-world problems.
- Investigate topics such as self-supervised learning from large-scale sensor datasets, multimodal fusion, and pre-training strategies for heterogeneous data.
- Explore generative modeling, causal analysis, and efficient models for edge deployment.
What you'll need#
- Current enrollment in a Ph.D. program in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Machine Learning, AI, or a related field.
- Research experience with time-series foundation models, multimodal models, or self-supervised learning.
- Hands-on experience with PyTorch or similar frameworks.
- Strong Python programming skills.
- Experience designing experiments and analyzing model behavior.
- Ability to communicate research ideas clearly and work collaboratively.
- Preferred: Experience with real-world sensor signals like radar, LiDAR, or IMU.
- Preferred: Experience with Transformers, generative models, or contrastive learning.
- Preferred: Familiarity with robustness, domain adaptation, or uncertainty estimation.
- Preferred: A track record of publications at major AI conferences or open-source implementations demonstrating experimental skills.
Location & details#
- Location: Sunnyvale, California.
- Modality: On-site.
- Employment: Full-time internship.
- This position is paid, with an hourly range of $55.00 to $70.00.
