Job Description

At Bosch Research in Pittsburgh, we are seeking a forward-thinking research intern to explore the development of autonomous AI agents that can perceive, reason, and act in real-world environments. This role offers the opportunity to design and implement agentic AI systems that integrate multimodal sensing, generative AI, and decision-making models to enable intelligent automation in dynamic environments.

This internship will focus on creating a demonstrator in a real-world setting, where AI agents will autonomously interpret and respond to sensor data. The work will involve sensing, anomaly detection, and action recognition, leveraging insights from cutting-edge multimodal AI techniques.

Responsibilities:

• Develop AI agents that interpret and respond to sensor data, visual inputs, and other signal-based modalities.
• Evaluate system performance across diverse benchmarks and real-world conditions.
• Show a proof-of-concept demo.
• Document findings and contribute to high-impact publications in leading AI conferences and journals.

Qualifications

Required:

• Currently enrolled as a PhD student in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong foundation in deep learning, reinforcement learning, and generative AI with expertise in computer vision (CV), natural language processing (NLP), or multimodal AI.
• Proven track record of research contributions, including publications in top AI conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, CVPR, ICCV, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP).
• 2+ years of programming experience in Python, with proficiency in frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Desired:

• Experience in signal-based data processing (e.g., Wi-Fi CSI, audio data, or time-series sensor data).
• Familiarity with agentic AI principles, reinforcement learning, and decision-making models.
• Experience with anomaly detection and action recognition in multimodal AI applications.
• Experience in fine-tuning Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) for autonomous AI agents.
• Knowledge of multimodal learning for integrating diverse sensor data into decision-making pipelines.

Demonstrated ability to innovate and develop AI-driven automation systems in real-world environments.
