Internship Dpdk Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Overview

Research Internships at Microsoft provide a dynamic environment for research careers with a network of world-class research labs led by globally-recognized scientists and engineers, who pursue innovation in a range of scientific and technical disciplines to help solve complex challenges in diverse fields, including computing, healthcare, economics, and the environment.

As a Research Intern in the Strategic Planning and Architecture (SPARC) group, you will contribute to the research, design, and development of tools to provide insights into multi-path network transports for large-scale Artificial Intelligence (AI) datacenter environments. Your work will focus on building high-performance tracing and analysis systems capable of capturing packet-level behavior at extremely high speeds (up to 800Gbps). These tools will enhance observability for next-generation transport protocols supporting AI workloads. The role offers opportunities to prototype solutions on real hardware and collaborate with engineers to improve reliability and strengthen the explainability of AI intra-datacenter networking.

Responsibilities

Research Interns put inquiry and theory into practice. Alongside fellow doctoral candidates and some of the world’s best researchers, Research Interns learn, collaborate, and network for life. Research Interns not only advance their own careers, but they also contribute to exciting research and development strides. During the 12-week internship, Research Interns are paired with mentors and expected to collaborate with other Research Interns and researchers, present findings, and contribute to the vibrant life of the community. Research internships are available in all areas of research, and are offered year-round, though they typically begin in the summer.
