Software Developer Internship Jobs in Forest Grove, OR

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 has pioneered sparse, event-based neuromorphic architectures 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.
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 low-level hardware enablement to software abstractions and applications, join us. Help define the next wave of AI technology that combines 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. In this role, you will develop and validate systems software that enables Intel neuromorphic accelerators, spanning device interfaces, operating system integration, runtime APIs, simulation environments, and integration with higher-level AI and application frameworks. You will collaborate with hardware, software, and solution architects to deliver robust, efficient, and scalable software that enables customers to build high-performance physical AI applications powered by Intel's neuromorphic technology.
Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and validate system-level software for future neuromorphic accelerator platforms, including device-driver interfaces, operating system integration, runtime APIs, and simulation environments.
• Analyze functional and performance issues across software drivers, runtimes, and applications; implement improvements and develop supporting profiling, debugging, benchmarking, and validation tools.
• Collaborate with hardware, architecture, operating-system, and application teams to enable upcoming platform features, recommend hardware and software improvements, and ensure expected functionality and performance on next-generation systems.
