Internship Neuromorphic Engineering Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Details:Job Description: 

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

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 the promise of this novel approach.

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
Join the team defining and implementing Intel's product-grade neuromorphic AI software stack. Contribute across all levels of the stack from drivers to runtime to AI framework integration in collaboration with hardware, software and solution architects to deliver robust, efficient, scalable software solutions that enable customers to build high-performance physical AI applications powered by Intel's neuromorphic technology.
Responsibilities

• Design, implement and optimize Intel's neuromorphic AI compiler and runtime environment.
• Contribute to tools and infrastructure that enable performance analysis, verification, debugging, and optimization across the software stack.
• Integrate software stack into external ecosystems, particularly robotics and edge AI frameworks.
• Collaborate with internal compiler, hardware, systems teams and external customers to improve software quality, performance, and usability across the stack.
