  • Identification of solution space for opportunities to improve display graphics/rendering
  • Collaboration with and support of other researchers across various disciplines (human factors, optics, graphics, display)
  • Communication of research agenda, progress, and results over the course of the intern project

Requirements

  • Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD degree in Computer Science, Vision Science, Electrical Engineering, or relevant technical field
  • Programming in C#, Unity, Python, MATLAB, or similar
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with display hardware, display calibration, eye tracking, EMG, GPUs/Graphics APIs
  • Understanding of the display rendering graphics pipeline
  • Familiarity with modern deep learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow)
  • Experience with visual perception, knowledge of optics, signal processing, mathematical modeling and/or simulation expertise with respect to visual perception and/or systems design
  • Ability to design and perform psychophysical experiments
  • Demonstrated software engineering experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions or scientific publications
  • Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, Transactions on Image Processing, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, Journal of Vision, ICIP, etc.)
  • Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment
  • Intent to return to degree program after the completion of the internship/co-op
