Job description

Intel's Neuromorphic Computing Lab is seeking a Neuromorphic AI Research Scientist to advance neuromorphic processor technology for commercial use. The role involves modeling, prototyping, and defining architectures and algorithms for applications in edge computing, signal processing, and autonomous systems. The team focuses on transforming research breakthroughs into real-world products that will impact the next generation of AI technology. Candidates will work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to innovate and communicate findings effectively.

Requirements

  • PhD or equivalent research experience in Computational Neuroscience, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Robotics, or a related field.
  • 1+ projects demonstrating the ability to turn research ideas into working prototypes and evaluate them rigorously.
  • 3+ publications in leading journals or conferences on AI/ML, edge computing, robotics, and/or control.
  • 2+ years of experience with state-of-the-art AI models, optimization, and at least one of control/dynamical systems, signal processing, or probabilistic inference.
  • 2+ years of experience in scientific programming for research including Python or C/C++ and software development best practices.

Responsibilities

  • Design and analyze neuromorphic AI algorithms for robotics, signal processing, control, and learning on edge platforms.
  • Develop research-quality software artifacts including APIs, kernels, and benchmarking tools.
  • Prototype and evaluate approaches under realistic constraints including quantization, sparsity, memory footprint, latency, and energy optimization.
  • Collaborate with hardware and software engineering teams to translate algorithmic requirements into hardware specifications.
  • Build experimental pipelines and benchmarks for target use cases with comprehensive baseline and ablation studies.
  • Communicate results through technical documentation, customer prototypes, and publications in leading conferences and journals.
  • Contribute to technical thought leadership in neuromorphic computing and present findings to internal and external stakeholders.

Benefits

  • Intel offers a comprehensive benefits package including competitive pay, stock programs, healthcare coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, parental leave, and programs supporting employee wellbeing and professional development.
