美图Doctoral Research Intern – Management Strategy & Organizational Theory
任职要求
Location: Palo Alto, California (Hybrid/On-site)
Reporting to: Senior Vice President of HR
Role Overview
This position offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the company's senior leadership on a high-level strategic project. The primary focus is to systematically review and synthesize the firm’s successful business practices, transforming empirical "on-the-ground" experiences into a rigorous management theoretical framework. This initiative serves both as a cornerstone for the company’s internal knowledge management and as a benchmark case study for academic distillation.
What you will do-
Frontier Insights: Conduct in-depth research on the latest academic trends in management, organizational change, and relevant industries to provide theoretical support for strategic decision-making.
Practice Reconstruction: Conduct internal interviews and archival research to review major business decisions and management processes, identifying critical success factors and underlying patterns.
Theoretical Modeling: Assist in translating fragmented business experiences into "modular" and "systematic" frameworks, constructing logical and robust business case structures.
Thematic Research & Analysis: Design and execute qualitative (e.g., in-depth interviews) or quantitative research on specific management topics, producing high-quality research reports.
Academic Standardization: Ensure all research outputs align with rigorous academic standards, including citation management (APA/MLA), professional terminology calibration, and formatting.
Who we're looking for-
Education: Current Master’s or Ph.D. candidate in Management, Sociology, Psychology, Economics, or related fields from a top-tier university.
Theoretical Synthesis: Exceptional ability to abs…工作职责

Team Introduction: The Risk Control R&D Team is dedicated to addressing various challenges posed by malicious activities across ByteDance's products including Douyin and Toutiao. Their work spans multiple domains of risk governance such as content, transactions, traffic, and accounts. By leveraging technologies such as machine learning, multimodal models, and large models, the team strives to understand user behaviors and content, thereby identifying potential risks and issues. By continuously deepening their understanding of business and user behaviors, the team drives innovation in models and algorithms with an aim to build an industry-leading risk control algorithm system. Project Objectives: Optimize and enhance large models' ability to understand and reason about structured data (sequential data, graph data) based on risk control data. Project Necessity: Data in risk control scenarios is primarily structured, while large models have significantly improved their understanding of text and images. Integrating non-text/image structured data from risk control scenarios with large models to enable better comprehension of structured data remains an industry-wide challenge. This involves three key difficulties: 1. How to effectively align structured information with the NLP semantic space, allowing models to simultaneously understand both data structure and semantic information. 2. How to use appropriate instructions to enable large models to interpret structural information in structured data. 3. How to endow large language models with step-by-step reasoning capabilities for graph learning downstream tasks, thereby inferring more complex relationships and attributes. Project Content: Current industry explorations of structured data include: 1. Graph data understanding (e.g., GraphGPT: Enabling large models to read graph data, SIGIR'2024). 2. Graph data RAG (e.g., Microsoft GraphRAG: Unlocking LLM discovery on narrative private data). 3. Sequential data understanding (e.g., StructGPT: A large model reasoning framework for structured data, EMNLP-2023). However, current efforts mainly focus on understanding single-type structured data, and several challenges remain in risk control scenarios: 1. How to effectively fuse and understand various types of structured data, especially the integration of graph and sequential data. 2. Addressing the challenges mentioned in the ""Project Necessity"" section, particularly the step-by-step reasoning capabilities for downstream tasks, which are currently underexplored—especially reasoning over sequential data. Research Directions: 1. Large model structured data understanding 2. Large model structured data RAG 3.

As a Senior Optics Design Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative consumer products. You will work closely with an internal interdisciplinary team, and outside partners to drive key aspects of product definition, execution, and test. You must be responsive, flexible, and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment. In this role, you will: • Work with a component engineering team and product engineering team to provide rapid prototyping and characterization of optics or imaging systems • Provide support for modelling and design for prototyping and manufacturing of lightguides and lenses. • Use software tools (LightTools, Zemax etc.) to model system optics characteristics • Work with cross-functional team to draft component specification, design reviews, work with vendors to manufacture parts and validate results by specifying test parameters and methodologies • Communicate and manage overseas component manufacturing vendors A day in the life As a senior optical design engineer, the day begins with reviewing simulation results from the latest lens design iteration. I analyze optical performance metrics like sharpness,aberrations and image quality, ensuring the design meets specifications. Meetings with cross-functional teams follow, where we discuss project timelines, material constraints, and integration challenges. Afternoons are spent refining models in Zemax or CODE V, testing prototypes, or collaborating with the manufacturing team to ensure seamless production. Occasionally, I mentor engineers, reviewing their work and offering guidance. The day wraps up with documenting progress and planning next steps for future optimizations.
