Researcher: AI for Autonomous Driving & Multimodal Learning Co-op

Huawei Canada has an immediate 12/16-month Co-op opening for a Researcher role.

About the Team:

Founded in 2012, the Noah’s Ark lab has evolved into a prominent research organization with notable achievements in academia and industry. The lab’s mission focuses on advancing artificial intelligence and related fields to benefit the company and society. Driven by impactful, long-term projects, the aim is to enhance state-of-the-art research while integrating innovations into the company's products and services, including LLMs, RL, NLP, computer vision, AI theory and Autonomous driving.

About the job:

• Investigate challenging problems in autonomous driving and multimodal reasoning (e.g., scene understanding, decision making, spatial reasoning, or causal learning).

• Design and implement state-of-the-art algorithms using deep learning and transformer-based architectures for vision-language(-action) models.

• Prototype and evaluate new ideas using internal simulation tools (e.g., CARLA, Navsim) and large-scale driving datasets (waymo, etc.)

• Analyze model behaviors, develop visualizations, and contribute to benchmarking pipelines.

• Collaborate closely with senior researchers to support ongoing research projects and publications.

• Participate in regular technical discussions, contribute to internal presentations, and help maintain clean, reproducible codebases.
