Job Description

Application Deadline: Friday 24th October 2025 Shape the future of real-time 3D animation! Join our Animation Research team in London and explore brand new neural network approaches for character animation. We're seeking passionate and driven students to redefine how animation is developed and experienced across Apple platforms. As an intern, you'll explore innovative alternatives to traditional methods, contribute to groundbreaking solutions, and collaborate with a team of expert engineers and researchers pushing the boundaries of real-time animation technologies for Apple devices.

Description

Are you passionate about applying machine learning to animation and graphics? In this internship you will get technical mentorship and guidance from senior engineers and researchers. You will investigate neural network-based methods for character animation, evaluate them against existing techniques, and prototype solutions in real-time environments. Together with your mentor, you will select a research direction that can influence future Apple products and the broader animation community. This is an opportunity to play a part in innovative pipelines, experiment with brand new ML methods, and develop tools that challenge the limits of real-time animation.

Responsibilities

Research and prototype neural network methods for real-time character animation. Compare and assess new techniques against existing animation approaches. Implement and test solutions in real-time environments. Collaborate with engineers and researchers on animation pipelines and tools. Document findings and contribute to knowledge sharing within the team.

Minimum Qualifications

Currently enrolled in a PhD or Master's program in Computer Science, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, or a related technical field. Proficiency in C++ and Python. General knowledge of 3D character animation in real time, including linear blend skinning, skeletal animation, and joint traversal.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow). Familiarity with real-time rendering or game engines. Ability to design and evaluate new algorithms in a research setting. Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a supportive environment.
