Requisition Number: 178800

Position Title: Intern General

External Description:

 

SEED is a pioneering group within Electronic Arts, combining creativity with applied research. We explore, build and help define the future of interactive entertainment.

We exist at EA to deliver and foster innovation for our games and our players. We do this through research, prototypes, exploration, and never-ending curiosity. We collaborate with game teams and industry partners, and also publish and present our research within our industry and to the public. We pursue long term applied research yet stay relevant to the present by delivering artifacts along the way to game teams and technology groups inside EA. Some of our research includes bringing digital characters to life, using machine learning for game AI, and developing novel real-time graphics & physics techniques.

Modern video games have grown in size and complexity and with that the need to test them. Automated Testing Agents (ATA) systems have emerged as a remedy to this challenge but still fall short of human performance in finding bugs. The standard benchmark environments that algorithms are evaluated on are often too simplistic and do not resemble modern games. For this reason, SEED are developing a novel public suite of game-testing environments. The objective of this master thesis project is to design and apply established and creative ATA algorithms to establish benchmark outcomes for our new suite of environments.

At SEED you will work with a distributed, versatile team of programmers, technical artists, and researchers - where you will help develop graphics technology for future EA games. This is a diverse team with big missions, and you will work with multiple tasks. Does this make you curious? If you want to take your education to the next step by working with some of the best talent there is in this field, then this is the team for you.
