About this role
About the Role As part of Volkswagen Group Innovation, our team deals with AI & Data Analytics tasks in the development of digital services for different Volkswagen Group brands. This includes processing and analyzing vehicle data as well as integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into digitized vehicles. State-of-the-art AI methods address perception and scene understanding problems in automated driving. We investigate the effect of difficult and adverse driving scenarios as part of testing processes. Within these fields of innovation, we offer you the possibility to participate in the research and development of intelligent algorithms in an interdisciplinary environment and to help shape the mobility of tomorrow. During your internship (at least 6 months) or thesis work, you will have the chance to tackle a complex issue in the exciting field of generative AI and automated driving. If you are pursuing a master’s thesis, the task and research questions will be determined together with your professor upon confirmation of supervision. What You'll Do
- Development and implementation of concepts to systematically generate traffic scenarios with anomalies or adverse conditions
- Research and analysis of current literature on the generation of anomalous data
- Practical investigations of data-driven deep learning methods for scenario generation for a selected use case
- Evaluation of the quality of the generated data according to self-developed or predefined criteria
- Documentation and presentation of the results What We're Looking For
- Master’s student in Computer Science, Robotics, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering Sciences or a related qualification
- Very good to good academic achievements
- Strong analytical and conceptual skills, familiarity with scientific methods
- Ability to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams, highly motivated
- Good knowledge of an object-oriented programming language, preferably Python, and of deep learning methods
- Profound experience with deep learning libraries like PyTorch in the context of research projects
- Ideally practical experience in the area of driver’s assistance systems or automated driving
- Fluent in English (at least language level B2) Compensation & Benefits
- The gross hourly wage for internships (including mandatory internships) and thesis projects is equal to the current minimum wage.
