Our company

Huawei's vision is to enrich life through communication. We are a fast growing and leading global information and communications technology solutions provider. With our three business units Carrier, Enterprise and Consumer, we offer network infrastructure, cloud computing solutions and devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs.

Among our customers are 45 of the world's top 50 telecom operators, and one third of the world’s population uses Huawei technologies. Huawei is active in more than 170 countries and has over 107,000 employees of which more than 114,000 are engaged in research and development (R&D). With us you have the opportunity to work in a dynamic, multinational environment with more than 150 nationalities worldwide. We seek and reward talent. At Huawei, if you are dedicated to creativity, engagement of technical risks and delivery of target-driven results, your efforts will be rewarded with outstanding career prospects.

Our Research Center

With 27 sites across Europe and 2000 researchers, Huawei’s European Research Institute (ERI) oversees fundamental and applied technology research, academic research cooperation projects, and strategic technical planning across our network of European R&D facilities. Huawei’s ERI includes the new Zurich Research Center (ZRC), located in Zurich, Switzerland. Our group at Huawei Zurich Research Center focuses on prototyping novel computer vision algorithms for mobile devices and robotic platforms using recent advances in computer vision, machine learning and camera hardware.

The research work of the lab is carried out not only by Huawei’s internal research staff but also by our academic research partners in universities across Europe. The lab will provides an “open research environment” where academics are encouraged to visit and work on fundamental long-term research alongside Huawei staff in an environment that, like the best universities and research institutes, is open and conducive to such scientific work.

For the ZRC Laboratory, we are currently looking to find an Intern in Computer Vision & Software Development. As a key member of our motivated and multicultural research team, you will write a simulator that replicates state-of-the-art screen and camera technologies, paving the way for training cutting-edge machine learning algorithms. You will setup, deploy, test, and evaluate these simulations on real-world prototypes, collaborating closely with our researchers to develop and refine theoretical concepts.

If you are interested in gaining practical experience while working with the newest technologies and create solutions which enrich people’s life, we are the right company for you. You will be part of a multicultural team and rapidly growing environment - write the future together with us!

Your responsibilities

• Develop a simulator that replicates state-of-the-art screen and camera technologies

• Create an evaluation pipeline to test the realism of the developed simulation pipeline

• Go through multiple iterations of testing- & implementation-phases to improve your work

• Create big-scale datasets that can be used on state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms

• Prepare documentation, patents and possibly academic publications

Required Skills

• Currently enrolled in a university program in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics or equivalent

• Strong capacity in Python (object oriented)

• Knowledge about basic working principle of global- & rolling-shutter camera

• Basic knowledge about machine learning algorithms

• Independent, but team-oriented work-style

Desired additional skills

• Experience with docker, git, c/c++

• Experience with hardware setups (embedded systems, Arduino, etc.)

• Understanding different screen technologies (high- & low-level)

• Hobby photographer, knowledge with optics, electrical-mechanical prototyping

Applications need to include a CV and transcripts. The starting date is as soon as possible.

Due to regulations, non-EU/EFTA citizens must provide a certificate from the university stating that the internship is mandatory as part of the application documents.
