Job Description

Are you a curious builder, a fearless experimenter, or someone who dreams of creating world-class AI technologies from Nepal (or anywhere) that can impact millions globally? We are US-based social entrepreneurs, originally from Nepal, helping students and professionals in early stage of their career develop innovative solutions for real world use cases using AI.


We are currently developing next-generation audio and video generation pipelines for content creators, especially podcasters, educators, and storytellers in developing countries. Our goal is bold:


High-quality, real-time, professional audio/video generation at ultra-low cost.

This is your opportunity to help shape the future of AI-driven media creation.

We are expanding our research team and inviting motivated students, hobbyists, and young innovators to join us as AI Audio-Video Research Interns. You do not need to be from a top college, what matters is your passion, ability to learn fast, and willingness to push boundaries.


What You Will Work On?

As part of our research team, you will dive deep into advanced AI systems across the entire audio-video generation pipeline:


Core Responsibilities

  • Experiment with state-of-the-art audio/video generative models
  • (text-to-speech, speech-to-animation, image-to-video, diffusion, transformers, etc.)
  • Fine-tune and benchmark existing open-source models for quality, latency, and cost.
  • Explore parameter tuning, architecture variations, and pipeline optimization.
  • Analyze failure cases and iterate toward more realistic outputs.
  • Build reproducible evaluation methods for lip-sync accuracy, voice clarity, and video fidelity.
  • Work with multimodal datasets (audio, video, transcripts).
  • Develop micro-experiments and POCs to push performance boundaries.


Your Work Will Directly Impact:

  • Podcasters and creators who need affordable ways to produce high-quality content.
  • Students and educators in developing countries who rely on low-bandwidth solutions.
  • Journalists and storytellers needing automated audio/video production pipelines.


What Will You Gain?

  • Work directly with industry experts from the US, Nepal, and global AI communities
  • Hands-on experience building real-world multimodal AI pipelines
  • Mentorship in research design, model training, engineering, and product thinking
  • Experience that stands out for graduate school, jobs, or startup career
  • Opportunity to publish internal research, technical reports, or open-source work
  • A chance to contribute to tools used by creators in developing countries


This is not a typical internship. You will experiment, break things, fix them, and push the limits of what's possible. You will be part of a fast-moving global team of engineers, researchers, and innovation-driven interns already making significant progress.

Requirements

We are looking for learners, builders, and problem-solvers, not just degrees or labels.

You’re a great fit if you are:

  • A student (Bachelor’s, Master’s) in CS, AI, Engineering, or related fields
  • OR a high-school student with strong passion and projects in AI
  • OR someone self-taught who can demonstrate ability and hunger to learn

If you dream of building breakthrough AI systems but never had the platform or mentorship, this is your chance.


Preferred Skills (Not Mandatory - You Can Learn With Us!)

  • Python programming
  • Experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face
  • Understanding of deep learning fundamentals (CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, Diffusion Models)
  • Knowledge of audio processing (TTS, ASR) or video generation (Lip-sync, GANs,VLMs)
  • Familiarity with datasets, model training, and evaluation metrics
  • Curiosity to explore research papers and try new ideas


If you don’t meet all skills, apply anyway. Passion and persistence matter more.
