We exist at EA to deliver and foster inspiring innovation for our games and our players. We do this through exploration, research, prototypes, and never-ending curiosity. We collaborate with game teams and industry partners and also publish 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 content creation, and developing novel real-time graphics & physics techniques.

You also know about ML methods for games, such as GenAI (topics 1-3), Reinforcement learning (topics 4-5), and Computer graphics (topics 6).

Please indicate in your application what topic you are interested in and how your background matches this particular area.

At SEED you will be working with a talented, distributed, multi-disciplinary team of programmers, technical artists, and researchers - where you will participate in the development of graphics technology for future EA games.
