Technical Internship: Differentiable Rendering - Military veterans preferred

Title:

Technical Internship: Differentiable Rendering

KBR is seeking an intelligent, creative self-starter graduate intern for work on an AI/ML project. Will also consider undergraduate interns transitioning into junior or senior year. A successful candidate will be in an Engineering course of study. A successful candidate will have experience with Machine Learning Algorithms such as convolutional neural networks and a strong linear algebra background. The candidate will be provided with hands-on experience on technically oriented projects.

KBR is a leading provider of high-end engineering, intelligence, and advanced technology solutions that enhance and protect the security of our nation and the world. Our Special Programs team conducts sponsored Research and Development to advance our nation’s capabilities in support of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. KBR’s Ann Arbor site offers great opportunities within a rapidly growing organization. We seek partners who are similarly driven by a passion to solve difficult technical problems and enable our customers’ successes while challenged by increasingly complex environments.

The Objectives of this Internship Project include the following:

• Implement a differentiable renderer that models how changes in 3D object shape impact range measurements (1D projects of target shape) of a target
• Use the differentiable renderer and machine learning techniques to reconstruct 3D target shape from range measurements of the target taken at different angles.
• Perform 3D ISAR Imaging using differentiable rendering framework.

Requirements / Selection Criteria:

• Must be working towards a technical degree in STEM
• Emphasis on students with coursework in the areas of: Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Applied Math.
• Experience with Machine Learning Algorithm such as Convolutional neural networks.
• Strong Linear Algebra background
• Familiarity with statistical signal processing fundamentals (Fourier transforms, singular vales)

Preferred Criteria:

• Familiarity with differentiable rendering

Security Requirements: MUST BE A U.S CITIZEN WITH THE ABILITY TO OBTAIN A CLEARANCE.

In compliance with the U.S. federal government’s vaccine mandate, only candidates who will be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 by December 8, 2021 or who have a reasonable accommodation or approved medical exception will be considered for this position.
