At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we’ve built a world-class team advancing the state of the art in AI, robotics, driving, and material sciences.

TEAM NAME + MISSION

This internship opportunity falls within the Human-Centered AI Division (HCAI). We are an integrated team of ML researchers, behavior scientists, and human-computer interaction experts. At the core of our work, we aim to support people to make better decisions by leveraging the best of big data, technology, and insights about why we do what we do.

ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD research intern to join our Future Product Innovation team and push the envelope on what is possible with Generative AI technologies in the domain of automotive product design. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in CAD Generation and Machine Learning or related fields, with demonstrated interest in design and generative AI. In this project, the intern will develop generative models for 3D parametric B-rep editing and design reasoning.

Over the course of the project, in addition to Future Product Innovation group meetings, the intern will also participate in all Human-Centered AI division meetings and meetings with stakeholders from relevant Toyota business groups. The intern will be exposed to how interdisciplinary industrial research works and learn from our team as well as the other interns in our division. Furthermore, the intern will engage in strategy discussions about how their research connects to business impact at Toyota.

This is a Fall 2026 paid 12-week internship opportunity. Please note that this internship will be a hybrid in-office role.

Scope the project to align with the core research efforts.

Be the primary driver of the technical plan (e.g., model development, analysis plan) with regular feedback from mentors.

Execute the project using TRI resources.

Present the project’s approach and findings in research meetings.

Currently enrolled in a PhD program in Computer Science, Machine Learning (or related fields).

Experience working with CAD boundary representations such as B-rep and step-file.

Experience working with relevant libraries such as pythonocc-core.

Experience with deep generative models for CAD generation and reasoning.

Track record of executing research projects, including publications at top venues, including but not limited to CVPR, ICCV, TOG, SIGGRAPH, NeurIPS.

Desire to work on challenging open-ended research projects.

Demonstrated ability to work autonomously while soliciting feedback.
