About Rockwell Automation Robotics Center of Excellence
The Robotics Center of Excellence (RCoE) is the "innovation engine" of Rockwell Automation robotics. We are a dynamic, high-impact research group dedicated to applying the latest research to transform real-world industrial operations at scale. Our mission is to move beyond rigid, pre-programmed automation and usher in the new era of Autonomous Operations. Here, you'll work alongside world-class experts in a culture that prizes rapid prototyping, intellectual curiosity, and the drive to see "impossible" ideas working on the factory floor.
About the Job
We are looking for a passionate Robotics Research Intern who is eager to learn at the intersection of AI theory and hands-on implementation. In this role, you will work closely with senior researchers, gaining invaluable hands-on experience with cutting-edge embodied intelligence. Your work will centre on building data tooling and pipelines that move, curate, and integrate data into our platform, directly supporting the development and evaluation of perception and world models through the effective use of machine learning frameworks.
About You
You are a "builder-researcher", someone who is just as comfortable deriving a loss function on a whiteboard as you are debugging a real world robot. You are:
Your Responsibilities:
Data Pipelines: Build data tooling and pipelines to ingest, organize, and integrate robot and perception data into our platform, supporting dataset curation and enabling model evaluation workflows, including dataset slicing and active learning loops for continuous improvement.
Data Collection: Collect robot and perception datasets using LiDAR, cameras, and other sensors across a range of scenarios, including both structured experiments and real-world deployments.
Dataset Development: Organize, curate, and label perception datasets, contributing to the creation of high-quality datasets for model training and evaluation.
The Essentials - You Will Have:
Actively pursuing a bachelors or advanced degree from an accredited college or university.
Legal authorization to work in Canada is required. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future for this job opening.
The Preferred - You Might Also Have:
Data Engineering: Demonstrated experience working with datasets, including data processing, organization, and curation to support machine learning workflows, with familiarity with common data quality issues and their mitigation.
AI Frameworks: Practical experience with PyTorch, Tensorflow, TensorRT, HuggingFace, etc.
What We Offer:
Health Insurance including Medical and Dental
Health Care Spending Account (HCSA – dependent on the plan chosen)
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Retirement plans
Paid Time off
Volunteering Time off
Employer Savings Plan Matching (includes RRSP, TFSA, and EPSP)
Employer Paid DC Pension
