Data Infrastructure Internship Jobs in Georgia (NOW HIRING)

About the Role 

The Data Platform & AI Services research team within Dolby's Advanced Technology Group focuses on advancing our AI and data platforms to enable AI-based innovation and deliver cloud and network-delivered media experiences to power the world's most influential media service providers. 

We are looking for a PhD Research Intern in ML Data Platform & Visualization to extend our existing data platform with scalable tooling that helps ML researchers understand, navigate, and extract insight from large-scale multimodal datasets. You will build on a production-grade platform while drawing on and contributing to emerging research in visualization for machine learning, data-centric AI, and foundation model interpretability. 

As a Research Intern, you will: 

• Extend our ML data platform to improve dataset management, discoverability, and quality assessment for large-scale, multimodal media datasets (video, image, audio, sensor data) 

• Build scalable visualization tooling that enables ML researchers to explore embedding spaces, surface semantic representations from foundation models, and understand dataset structure at scale 

• Design and implement interactive data exploration interfaces to support ML research workflows and data management, including ingestion, indexing, retrieval, annotation and representation 

• Investigate and apply emerging research in visualization for ML, data-centric AI, and foundation model representations to inform platform design decisions 

• Collaborate directly with AI researchers to translate research workflows into platform requirements, bridging the gap between model development needs and data infrastructure capabilities 

• Present your work to internal stakeholders, with the possibility of contributing to academic publications or conference presentations 

The role will be based out of our research facility in Atlanta, GA, and offers the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art computing resources and proprietary datasets. 

Requirements 

Candidates should meet one or more of the following: 

• Currently enrolled in a PhD program in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Computational Media, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with interest in data management, data visualization, ML infrastructure, or media data systems 

• Strong background in data management and visualization, including data modeling, indexing, retrieval, annotation and visualization for large-scale or unstructured media data 

• Familiarity with ML workflows and researcher tooling - understanding how ML researchers interact with datasets during training, evaluation, and debugging 

• Solid understanding of deep learning fundamentals and experience with frameworks such as PyTorch 

• Proficiency in Python and experience with visualization libraries 

• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative, cross-disciplinary research team 

Highly Desired Experience 

• First-authored publication or project work in relevant domains at top venues such as IEEE VIS, CHI, VLDB, ACM SIGMOD, SIGKDD, or IEEE Big Data 

• Expertise in visualization research for ML, including dataset cartography, latent space visualization, data-centric AI, or interactive ML tools 

• Hands-on experience building data visualization tools or interactive ML exploration interfaces - embedding viewers, dataset dashboards, annotation UIs, or similar 

• Experience with scalable data processing and model training  

We will review applications on a rolling basis. For the best chance to have your resume reviewed and considered, we recommend submitting your application by June 26, 2026.     

Eligibility 

Currently enrolled in Doctoral program. Recent grads who are within 6 months of graduation are also eligible to apply. Must be available to work full-time Monday - Friday for 12 weeks between September 2026 - December 2026. 

The start date for this internship is as follows (please note these dates are not flexible): 

• September 21, 2026
