Job Summary

The InterDigital  Lab in Silicon Valley is looking for motivated Ph.D students for internships around AI/ML applied to Wireless Communications.
 

The AI Lab works on novel applications of AI and ML for video and wireless applications. You will develop proof-of-concepts, prototypes and research ideas that tie machine learning and AI technologies with a broad range of signal processing and wireless technologies and will publish your work in leading conferences.  

Come intern with us if you are interested in:

• Pushing state of the art in AI/ML for signal processing and wireless communication.
• Formulating and solving real-world problems using non-convex, stochastic, and combinatorial optimization.
• Research and design of ML algorithms that will be at the core of next generation (6G) wireless communication systems.

Problems areas that we are actively exploring:

• Physics informed deep learning for channel modelling and estimation.
• Hardware and energy efficient architectures for real time inference.
• Cross model alignment across independently designed and trained models.
• Efficient information exchange and model training in dynamic wireless systems.

 
Qualifications:

• Ph.D. student in EE, Computer Science, Statistics, or relevant discipline.
• Publications or research and development experience in one or more of the following areas: machine learning, deep learning, data mining, optimization.
• Background in wireless communication and/or signal processing is a plus, but not necessary.
• Hands on experience with ML frameworks such as Pytorch, Tensorflow.

Internship Benefits:

• We promote long-lasting collaborations with our interns.

• Publish in leading conferences including NeurIPS, ICLR, IJCAI, ICASSP, INFOCOM, SIGCOMM, GLOBECOM.
• Opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers in their fields.

InterDigital leads the way in Video and Wireless Technologies:

• Laser focused on research with more than 300 engineers and researchers.

• We invent solutions for efficient wireless networks, better video delivery, and richer multimedia experiences – more than $1B invested in R&D efforts since 2000.
• We designed and developed a wide range of technologies used in 4G and 5G wireless, and in many video standards (MPEG, H.265, H.266, …).
• 80% of consumer electronics manufacturers integrate our technology.
