2026 Summer Intern – PhD – Research Engineering Intern, Generative Simulation Validation

Boston, Massachusetts, United States
internshipinternautonomous vehicles

Tech Stack

Description

You will work on developing advanced generative models (e.g., trajectory transformers, diffusion models) to learn valid human driving behavior and use it as a safety ruler for autonomous vehicle releases. You'll benchmark methods and collaborate cross-functionally to establish statistical safety guarantees for large-scale simulation validation.

Requirements

  • Currently PhD student in CS, Robotics, ML, Statistics or related field
  • Expertise in sequence modeling with Transformers, self-attention, cross-attention for time-series/trajectory data
  • Hands-on experience with generative AI paradigms (next-token prediction or diffusion models)
  • Strong grasp of probabilistic ML and uncertainty quantification
  • Strong Python and deep learning framework skills (PyTorch or TensorFlow)

Responsibilities

  • Develop Transformer-based generative models for learning valid human driving behavior
  • Establish statistical safety guarantees using conformal prediction or similar techniques
  • Benchmark traditional geometric methods vs generative/ML approaches for reducing false fails
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams on multi-modal truth and probabilistic safety
