AI Algorithm Research Intern – Neuromorphic Computing

Job description

Job Details: Job Description: For nearly a decade, Intel's Neuromorphic Computing Lab-together with a global ecosystem of 250+ research groups-has explored architectures, algorithms, and software inspired by the brain's extraordinary efficiency, scalability, and adaptability. Our Loihi series of research chips pioneered event-driven, sparse, and massively parallel neuro-inspired processing, fueling over 100 peer-reviewed publications that validate the promise of this novel approach. Now, we're entering an exciting new chapter: transforming these breakthroughs into real-world products that will power the coming era of physical AI systems-beyond the reach of GPUs and mainstream AI accelerators. If you are passionate about pushing the boundaries of computing, from transistor-level innovation to software abstractions, join us. Help define the next wave of AI technology that harnesses the proven advantages of Intel's neuromorphic computing technology with the versatility demanded by modern AI workloads. About the Organization: As part of Intel's CTO Office, you will join a vertically integrated incubation effort dedicated to bringing Intel's neuromorphic technology innovations to market. Our diverse team of engineers and researchers have pioneered sparse, event-based, neuromorphic architecture over multiple generations and is now focused on commercializing the technology in future Intel and partner products. Position Overview: Demonstrate the value of Intel's neuromorphic technologies by developing, implementing and benchmarking algorithms for Intel's next generation neuromorphic architecture to enable applications in edge computing, signal processing and autonomous systems for the era of physical AI with groundbreaking performance and efficiency. Responsibilities Support the development and benchmarking of applications on Intel's next-generation neuromorphic architecture. Author and publish results in top-tier conferences/journals. Contribute to Intel's neuromorphic SDK with documentation, code reviews, and continuous improvement of software processes. Qualifications: Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Enrolled in an MSc or PhD program in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or a related field. 3+ years of experience writing clean, efficient and modular Python and C++ code. 2+ years of experience with deep/machine learning, mathematical optimization, and AI frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow). 1+ years of experience developing AI models for perception, reasoning, and control (e.g., YOLO, LLMs, or VLAs based on transformer or SSM architectures) 1+ years of experience with software development best practices (OO design, testing, debugging, documentation, version control, code reviews). Intermediate to Advanced English level Must have unrestricted - permanent right to work in Mexico (this position is not eligible for employment-based visa/immigration sponsorship). Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Experience with edge AI HW accelerators or event-based sensors. Experience in developing software for robotics or other real-time control systems. Experience with profiling and benchmarking algorithms and hardware architectures. A candidate who accepts an offer of employment in Mexico is required to present their own personal identification information and numbers for the following: Mexican Security Number (NSS), Tax Identification Number (RFC) and CURP identification number.
