2027 Internship Simulation Engineer, Neural Rendering
San Francisco, CAInternPosted 3w ago
About the role
Internship role on the Simulation team focused on advancing neural rendering techniques within the autonomous construction-site simulation pipeline to close the visual gap for downstream autonomy performance.
Responsibilities
- Research, implement, and benchmark neural rendering methods (NeRF, 3D Gaussian splatting, or related techniques) for generating realistic construction-site imagery within our simulation stack
- Train models on real-world site data captured by our fleet and evaluate visual fidelity, temporal consistency, and render speed
- Integrate neural rendering outputs into the simulation pipeline so perception and planning teams can train and test against them
- Build evaluation metrics and tooling that quantify how well rendered scenes match real fleet data — and whether that improvement transfers to autonomy performance
- Identify and address failure modes: dynamic objects, deformable terrain, dust, harsh lighting, and other construction-specific challenges
- Document findings, limitations, and a recommendation on where neural rendering should (and shouldn't) replace traditional sim assets
Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in computer science, computer graphics, robotics, or a related field — or bringing equivalent research or industry experience
- Strong Python and hands-on experience with PyTorch (or equivalent)
- Solid understanding of 3D graphics fundamentals: rendering pipelines, scene representations, camera models, and coordinate systems
- Familiarity with neural scene representations (NeRF, Gaussian splatting, neural radiance fields, or related methods)
- Comfort with real-world data — construction sites are messy, dusty, and nothing like an indoor dataset
