At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we’ve built a world-class team in Energy & Materials, Human-Centered AI, Human Interactive Driving, Large Behavioral Models, and Robotics.

This is a summer 2025 paid 12-week internship opportunity with the HID team in the EPIC (Extreme Performance Intelligent Control ) department at TRI. Please note that this internship will be a hybrid in-office role based in Los Altos, CA, and will involve experiments with high-performance vehicles on a closed racetrack.

The Team

Within the Extreme Performance Intelligent Control team, we are developing techniques to advance vehicle safety and performance capabilities using tools from machine learning, computer vision and optimal control. We are pursuing a cooperative approach to high-performance driving by developing predictive models and control frameworks for extreme vehicle maneuvering that match or exceed the skills of expert drivers. We envision a world where these tools allow each vehicle to support its driver, creating a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

The Internship

In this project, we are interested in developing new perception and control methodologies for high-performance driving that infer and reason about uncertainty. This is an opportunity to apply your knowledge to novel problems and develop impactful research.

Responsibilities

  • Design vision-based models for use in a vehicle autonomy stack
  • Develop perception-aware and uncertainty-aware control methodologies
  • Implement, deploy, and evaluate models and algorithms on high-performance cars
  • Publish your original research at a high impact conference

Qualifications

  • Ph.D. candidate working on related fields: computer vision, machine learning, robotics, optimization, or related fields
  • Proficiency in at least one of the following: Python, C++, ROS(2), deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, TensorRT, and JAX
  • Experience in deploying algorithms on real-world platforms
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills
  • Strong interest in pushing the limits of vehicle autonomy
