The Opportunity
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 its promise.
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.
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.
This is a fixed-term opportunity lasting approximately 12 months, with the potential for extension subject to the approval of both parties.
Responsibilities
• Support the development and optimization of advanced AI algorithms and signal processing applications for edge platforms powered by Intel's next-generation neuromorphic architecture. • Evaluate and benchmark signal processing algorithms on current and next-generation neuromorphic hardware. • Validate Intel's neuromorphic SDK by running real-world signal processing workloads, gathering metrics, and proposing targeted software enhancements to the core development team. • Present findings internally and to collaborators.
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 has pioneered sparse, event-based, neuromorphic architecture over multiple generations and is now focused on commercializing the technology in future Intel and partner products.
Qualifications:
Minimum qualifications • Enrolled in a PhD program in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or a related field. • 1+ years of experience writing clean, efficient and modular Python and C++ code. • 1+ years of experience developing AI models for signal processing, perception, reasoning, and control. • 1+ years of experience with software development best practices (OO design, testing, debugging, documentation, version control, code reviews). • 1+ peer-reviewed publications.
Preferred qualifications • Experience with edge AI HW accelerators or event-based sensors. • Exposure to neuroscience and neurobiology-inspired algorithms. • Experience in developing software for robotics or other real-time control systems. • Experience with profiling and benchmarking algorithms and hardware architectures. • Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
