• Exploratory Research: Stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in LLMs, M-LLMs, and agentic workflows to propose new use cases for the autonomy software division.

What you bring: :
• Education: Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or a closely related field.
