The Deep Tech Architecture (DTA) group is seeking a motivated, experienced Neuromorphic Research Intern to support our Innovation Center and Corporate Incubation Labs (Analog Garage) located at ADI’s Boston office. The Analog Garage mission is to empower ADI by pioneering breakthrough technologies. The DTA group within the Analog Garage is applying leading-edge circuit design, device design, and nano-scale fabrication technologies to develop innovative solutions to big societal problems. You will conduct research in the field of event-based detection mechanisms to support development of next-generation sensing, processing and learning technologies inspired by the brain’s efficiency in processing sensory data. The focus of this internship is visual information sensing and processing. The role will also cover exploration of broader applications in neuromorphic sensing beyond visual data, such as auditory, tactile, and multimodal sensing approaches, where the paradigm of event-based data transmission and asynchronous event processing offers significant advantages over traditional sensing systems. 

Responsibilities include, but not limited to:

• Conduct research in new areas of event-driven algorithms for object detection, motion tracking, and feature extraction. 

• Utilize simulation tools and data analysis techniques to model and test neuromorphic systems, exploring latency-sensitive tasks such as autonomous navigation, robotics, surveillance, or similar.  

• Develop prototype concepts, evaluate them using neuromorphic sensors and/or simulated data.

• Present findings of your research and proposed solution to DTA leadership team.

Qualifications

• Masters or PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Neuromorphic Engineering, or related fields.

• Experience or coursework in at least two of the following categories: computer vision, embedded systems, neuromorphic computing, FPGAs, robotics, or machine learning.  

• Coursework and/or hardware experience is a strong plus. 

• Experience in object-oriented programming languages such as Python, C++. 

• Knowledge of spiking neural networks (SNNs) or bio-inspired algorithms is advantageous.  

• Basic understanding of signal processing, sensors, and asynchronous data streams.  

For positions requiring access to technical data, Analog Devices, Inc. may have to obtain export  licensing approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce – Bureau of Industry and Security and/or the U.S. Department of State – Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.  As such, applicants for this position – except US Citizens, US Permanent Residents, and protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3) – may have to go through an export licensing review process.

Analog Devices is an equal opportunity employer. We foster a culture where everyone has an opportunity to succeed regardless of their race, color, religion, age, ancestry, national origin, social or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, pregnancy, parental status, disability, medical condition, genetic information, military or veteran status, union membership, and political affiliation, or any other legally protected group.
