Job description
Huawei Canada has an immediate internship opening for an Intern Embodied AI Researcher.
About the team:
Founded in 2012, the Noah’s Ark lab has evolved into a prominent research organization with notable achievements in academia and industry. The lab’s mission focuses on advancing artificial intelligence and related fields to benefit the company and society. Driven by impactful, long-term projects, the aim is to enhance state-of-the-art research while integrating innovations into the company's products and services, including LLMs, RL, NLP, computer vision, AI theory, and Autonomous driving.
About the job:
Conduct cutting-edge research on safe and reliable embodied AI systems, with a focus on robotic manipulation and autonomous decision making.
Develop novel reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and learning-from-demonstration algorithms for improving the safety, robustness, and generalization of embodied agents.
Design and evaluate methods for leveraging negative data, failure cases, human feedback, and corrective demonstrations to improve policy learning.
Develop and study Vision-Language-Action (VLA) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for embodied intelligence and robot learning applications.
Implement, train, and evaluate state-of-the-art models in both simulation and real-world robotic environments.
Collaborate closely with researchers and engineers to translate research ideas into scalable systems and internal technology prototypes.
Stay current with the latest advances in reinforcement learning, robot learning, embodied AI, foundation models, and AI safety, and contribute technical insights to the team’s research roadmap.
Publish research findings at top-tier machine learning and robotics conferences and contribute to high-impact intellectual property.
The total target annual compensation for this position ranges from $58,000 to $104,000 depending on education, experience, and demonstrated expertise.
Job requirements
About the ideal candidate:
Currently pursuing a Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field.
Proven research excellence, demonstrated by first-author publications at top-tier venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CoRL, RSS, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICRA, or IROS.
Strong background in reinforcement learning, including policy optimization, model-based RL, offline RL, reward/value learning, or safe reinforcement learning.
Hands-on research experience with learning from demonstrations, imitation learning, inverse reinforcement learning, preference learning, or related paradigms.
Experience developing, training, or evaluating Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, Vision-Language Models (VLMs), multimodal foundation models, or embodied AI systems.
Strong programming skills in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.
Experience working with robot simulators, large-scale training infrastructure, robotic platforms, or real-world embodied AI systems.
Demonstrated ability to independently drive research from idea formulation to implementation, experimentation, publication, and technology transfer.
