The Signal Processing (SP) group at MERL is seeking a highly motivated intern to conduct fundamental research in mutual interference mitigation for automotive radar. Previous experience in waveform design, radar detection under interference, joint communication and sensing, interference mitigation, and deep learning for radar is highly preferred. Knowledge about automotive radar schemes (MIMO and waveform modulation, e.g., FMCW, PMCW, and OFDM) is a plus. The intern will collaborate with a small group of MERL researchers to develop novel algorithms, design experiments using MERL in-house testbed, and prepare results for patents and publication. Senior Ph.D. students with research focuses on signal processing, machine learning, optimization, applied mathematics, or related areas are encouraged to apply. The expected duration of the internship is 3 months with a flexible start date.

We are seeking a highly motivated intern to conduct original research extending MERL's work on uncertainty estimation in face landmark localization (the LUVLi model) to the domains of 3D faces and video sequences. The successful candidate will collaborate with MERL researchers to design and implement new models, conduct experiments, and prepare results for publication. The candidate should be a PhD student in computer vision and machine learning with a strong publication record. Experience in deep learning-based face landmark estimation, video tracking, and 3D face modeling is preferred. Strong programming skills, experience developing and implementing new models in deep learning platforms such as PyTorch, and broad knowledge of machine learning and deep learning methods are expected.

MERL is seeking an intern to work on research for quantum machine learning (QML). The ideal candidate is an experienced PhD student or post-graduate researcher having an excellent background in quantum computing, deep learning, and signal processing. Proficient programming skills with PyTorch, Qiskit, and PennyLane will be additional assets to this position. Also note that we wish to fill this position as soon as possible and expect that the candidate will be available during this fall/winter. This internship is preferred to be onsite at MERL, but may be done remotely where you live if the COVID pandemic makes it necessary.
