MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH INTERNSHIP AT EPIC GAMES

What You'll Do

Epic Games is looking for current PhD students and recent PhD graduates (within 12 months of graduation) for paid research internships, working on state-of-the-art machine learning across our ecosystem. Epic makes Unreal Engine, which powers creative work across many industries, alongside some of the world's most popular games, including Fortnite and Rocket League. Through these products, ML research at Epic reaches millions of creators and players every day. AI is reshaping the games industry, and Epic Research - led by Lucia Specia and Michael Black - is at the center of that shift. We're looking for talented interns who want to be part of it.

In this role, you will

Work with our team of research scientists and engineers at the intersection of vision, language, speech processing, embodied agents, and game development to create state-of-the-art machine learning models in a range of areas - research topics of interest include:

  • AI-backed interactive characters: LLMs for conversational characters, memory systems, automated evals, animation, etc.
  • Game agents: vision-language-action, game-state agents, etc.
  • 3D human and object tracking
  • Reinforcement learning for embodied behavior
  • Speech systems and conversational agents
  • World building and game logic generation: video models, 2D->3D scene building, etc.
  • AI-assisted game development, e.g. the next generation of Epic Developer Assistant for UE and UEFN
  • Embodied and physical intelligence including human-object interaction
  • Multi-modal diffusion models
  • Player safety: AI-alignment, content moderation, etc.
  • Improved user experience: personalised game recommendation, game representation, spam detection, etc.
  • Content localization: (multimodal) translation, quality assurance, etc.
  • Model distillation for realtime performance

What we're looking for

  • An ongoing or recently completed (within the last 12 months) PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, AI or a related field
  • A record of publication in top conferences/journals
  • Experience implementing deep learning algorithms for problems in computer vision, natural language processing, or speech/audio processing
  • Hands-on knowledge of state-of-the-art ML methods, such as Transformers, diffusion models, and reinforcement learning
  • Experience with post-training foundation models, including SFT, preference training, and reinforcement learning
  • Excellent AI coding and experimental engineering skills
  • Desirable: game development experience in either C++ or C#

Internship Details

  • Duration: 5-12 months initially (depending on your location), with flexible start-dates throughout 2026/2027
  • Hours: full-time (40 hours/week) or part-time (20 hours/week)
  • Location: Select regions within North America and Europe
  • Employment Authorization: You must hold an existing right to work in your given location for the full duration of the internship - visa sponsorship or support is unavailable for this role
  • Publishing: Research by Epic interns is regularly published in top-tier conferences

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
