Phonic is a product and research lab focused on creating realistic voice AI conversations. As a Research Intern, you will work on core problems in voice AI, taking ownership of research directions and driving them from problem identification to production impact.
Responsibilities:
- Identify high-leverage research problems across the voice AI stack from audio understanding to audio output, and take full ownership of driving them forward
- Design and run rigorous experiments that analyze architectural trade-offs to understand how design choices influence a model’s scalability, latency, and quality
- Curate massive training datasets and execute rigorous experiments to determine exactly how data quality shapes model behavior and performance
- Work directly with research scientists and engineers to move fast from prototype to production
- Build the training pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and tooling that let us experiment and iterate quickly
