Research Intern, Audio Processing and Machine Learning

The Research Intern joins Sony Group’s Music Technology team to research and develop audio signal-processing technologies for Sony products and scientific publication. The work combines machine learning with audio research and may inform music and film production workflows. Projects may cover music generation and editing, attribution analysis, source separation, audio restoration, effects manipulation, representation learning, and AI-assisted post-production for music, film, or game audio. The intern investigates algorithms and implements and optimizes them using research, coding, and problem-solving skills. Applicants must be enrolled in an MSc or PhD program in computer science, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, or a related field, and have relevant publications, internship experience, or projects. They need expertise in audio signal analysis, processing, feature extraction, and audio-data cleaning, manipulation, and analysis; machine-learning architecture design and training/testing methods; plus proven Python coding and experience with relevant machine-learning tools.
