Job Description
Intel's Neuromorphic Computing Lab is seeking a neuromorphic algorithm researcher to pioneer a new class of algorithms and applications targeting Intel's neuromorphic processors. Our goal is to exploit neuromorphic and related non-von Neumann architectures to solve real-world problems with orders of magnitude gains versus the best known conventional solutions in applications ranging from cloud to edge based systems.As a researcher, you will prototype hardware-aware neuromorphic algorithms for use on real-world applications in collaboration with external customers and research partners. You will be part of a diverse international team of engineers and researchers working together on our mission to demonstrate the commercial value of our technology. Your day to day work may range from designing new projects, gathering requirements for customer use cases, high-level algorithm development, porting algorithms to Intel's neuromorphic systems, benchmarking their performance against conventional solutions, developing software application libraries, deploying application prototypes with customers, publishing or presenting results in journals or at conferences.
To be successful in this position, we are seeking candidates with a strong background in deep learning, machine learning, mathematical optimization, computational neuroscience, probability theory, or statistical mechanics and expert software development skills. Candidates should also come with a demonstrated track record of turning these skills into innovative technical solutions as measured by peer-reviewed publications, patents, or student projects in the fields of interest. Outstanding presentation skills and experience in designing and managing projects are considered a strong plus.
Qualifications
