Job summary

Intel Corporation's Neuromorphic Computing Lab is seeking a PhD-level researcher to design and analyze neuromorphic AI algorithms for edge robotics, develop research-grade software, and collaborate with hardware teams to translate ideas into hardware.

You will publish findings, contribute to benchmarks, and help push the frontier of neuromorphic computing through collaborations, papers, and talks, while operating under a hybrid work model across US sites including Hillsboro.

Qualifications

• PhD (or equivalent research experience) in Computational Neuroscience, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Robotics, or a related field.
• 1+ projects demonstrating the skills to turn research ideas into working prototypes and to evaluate them rigorously (benchmarks, baselines, ablations, quantitative reporting).
• 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.
• Scientific programming for research (e.g., Python or C/C++) including experience with OO design, testing, debugging, documentation, version control, code reviews.

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 that enable collaborative innovation.
• Prototype and evaluate approaches under 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 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.
