Research Intern

Join the leader in entertainment innovation and help us design the future. At Dolby, science meets art, and high tech means more than computer code. As a member of the Dolby team, you’ll see and hear the results of your work everywhere, from movie theaters to smartphones. We continue to revolutionize how people create, deliver, and enjoy entertainment worldwide. To do that, we need the absolute best talent. We’re big enough to give you all the resources you need, and small enough so you can make a real difference and earn recognition for your work. We offer a collegial culture, challenging projects, and excellent compensation and benefits, not to mention a Flex Work approach that is truly flexible to support where, when, and how you do your best work.

Advanced Technology Group (ATG) is the research and technology arm of Dolby Labs. It has multiple competencies that innovate technologies in audio, video, AR/VR, gaming, music, and movies. Many areas of expertise related to computer science and electrical engineering, such as AI/ML, computer vision, image processing, algorithms, digital signal processing, audio engineering, data science & analytics, distributed systems, cloud, edge & mobile computing, natural language processing, knowledge engineering and management, social network analysis, computer graphics, image & signal compression, computer networking, IoT are highly relevant to our research. ATG Bangalore is a fast-growing R&D operation focusing on the next generation of sound, sight, and multi-modal experiences using perceptual sciences, foundational systems, and AI. In this internship you will spend three months with our researchers to investigate a cutting-edge topic. We will work with you to define the problem statement and research plan that leverages your competencies and results in top-tier novel research that is fun and exciting.

We are accepting applications for our Spring 2026 internship cohort (Jan-Mar 2026) for research in following areas:

• AI & Machine Learning for Media: AI systems for processing and understanding audio, video, text, and multimedia content.
• Real-Time AI on Edge Devices: AI systems that adapt in real time and respond to emotions, designed for use on low-power edge devices.
• Immersive AI Content Creation: AI tools for creating interactive, multimodal (audio, video, text) and immersive experiences.
• Human Sensing & Multimodal Perception: AI that interprets human behavior and senses (e.g., gestures, facial expressions, bio-signals) for enhanced user experiences.
AI in Computer Vision: AI techniques for video and image capture, compression, enhancement, and scene understanding.

What the internship is about:

• Work closely with Dolby research teams to better understand industry-based research.
• Hone your skills in AI/Machine learning or the appropriate creative tools.
Drive cutting-edge research resulting in top-tier publications.

Skills and specialty areas:

• PhD candidates in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Electrical Communications Engineering, and relevant fields.
Top tier publications is a big plus (e.g. CVPR, ICML, ICCV, ECCV, ICIP, WACV, ACL, ACM, AAAI, ICASSP, T-Pami, IJCNN, JMLR, BMVC, EMVC, INTERSPEECH, NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CHI, SIGGRAPH etc)
