MERL is seeking a highly motivated and qualified intern to collaborate with the Control for Autonomy team in research on planning and control algorithms accounting for perception and sensing uncertainty, e.g., the surrounding environment of a vehicle. The ideal candidate is expected to be working towards a PhD with strong emphasis in control or planning algorithms, and to have interest and background in as many as possible of: predictive control algorithms for linear and nonlinear systems, stochastic constrained control, e.g., chance constraints, stochastic optimization, statistical estimation, perception system modeling, Bayesian inference, and vehicle modeling and control. Good programming skills in MATLAB, Python or C/C++ are required. The expected start of of the internship is in early 2023, for a duration of 3-6 months.

MERL is seeking a highly motivated and qualified intern to collaborate with the Control for Autonomy team in research on GNSS-based estimation and sensor fusion algorithms. The ideal candidate is expected to be working towards a PhD with strong emphasis in statistical signal processing and estimation, and with experience in at least some of the following areas: application and theory of Bayesian inference, learning, Kalman filters, variational Bayes, automotive, autonomous vehicles, distributed estimation, large-scale estimation, sensor fusion including camera radar and/or GNSS. Good programming skills in MATLAB, Python, or C/C++ are required. The expected duration of the internship is 3-6 months.
