About this role
This is a research internship with the Platform ASIC Research lab at Nokia Bell Labs in Bangalore. The lab studies advanced computing architectures and algorithms for next-generation communication systems. The intern will focus on energy-efficient AI and wireless workloads, looking at hardware-aware AI algorithms, neuromorphic computing and domain-specific hardware acceleration, possibly including RISC-V-based accelerators. Day to day, the work involves developing concepts and running experiments in Python and C, evaluating compute and energy trade-offs, and possibly contributing to Verilog implementations or architecture design studies alongside Bell Labs researchers. The role suits PhD or MS Research students with a background in computer architecture, VLSI, AI/ML, wireless or signal processing who can commit to a 6-month onsite internship.
