2027 Summer Intern, Generative AI based Imaging and Video R&D

The role

You will conduct advanced research in generative AI for smartphone camera and visual technologies. You will develop and evaluate algorithms for low-light enhancement, super-resolution, and fast-motion capture.

What you will do

• Develop generative AI algorithms for computational photography and video, such as low-light imaging, super-resolution, and fast-motion capture.
• Design neural network architectures and processing pipelines for advanced imaging and video applications.
• Prototype and evaluate image and video quality using both quantitative metrics and perceptual assessment.
• Design algorithms that respect mobile system constraints, including power consumption, memory, and runtime performance.
• Build demos that show the feasibility and usability of new technologies.

Required qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a PhD program in Computer Science/Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
• Hands-on experience with deep learning and computational photography.
• Coursework on AI/Deep learning, embedded system, and imaging/computer vision algorithms.
• Strong communication skills for effective interactions with team members.

Nice to have

• Publications or open-source projects in generative imaging, video synthesis, or image restoration (e.g., diffusion models, GANs, or transformer-based approaches).
• Experience deploying models on mobile or edge hardware, or familiarity with model optimization techniques such as quantization and pruning.

Benefits

• annual bonus eligibility
• generous benefits

Before you apply

• This position is open to candidates who are legally authorized to work in the United States.
• In applying to Samsung and progressing through the recruitment process, you must not disclose any trade secrets of a current or previous employer.
