We are excited to welcome passionate and driven individuals who want to shape the future of AI technology. Your expertise will be invaluable in driving Intel's success and delivering transformative solutions to the world. ## Description As an AI Software Engineer in Neuromorphic Computing, you will turn new neuromorphic hardware capabilities into working, high-performance AI software and contribute to critical technical areas from design through delivery. You will build specialized kernels for current and next-generation neuromorphic hardware, explore optimization strategies that conventional processors cannot offer, and help shape the programming abstractions that expose those capabilities to developers. Working alongside hardware architects, compiler engineers, and AI researchers, you will use performance and power models to influence design decisions before silicon is available and then validate those decisions using simulators, emulators, and hardware. Your work will span the full hardware-software lifecycle, from modeling a hardware feature to implementing the kernel that unlocks it and demonstrating measurable gains on real AI workloads. You will contribute to the training, porting, and optimization of end-to-end applications for Loihi-based systems while helping improve engineering quality across the team. As part of Intel's CTO Office, you will join a vertically integrated incubation effort dedicated to bringing Intel's neuromorphic technology innovations to market. Our diverse team of engineers and researchers has pioneered sparse, event-based neuromorphic architectures across multiple generations and is now focused on commercializing the technology in future Intel and partner products. The primary responsibilities for this role will include, but are not limited to: * Design and implement specialized AI kernels for neuromorphic hardware using custom DSLs and accelerator programming models such as CUDA and SYCL and help shape the programming abstractions for Intel's next-generation neuromorphic architecture. * Develop and optimize operations for convolutional networks, transformers, and generative AI workloads by applying techniques such as tiling, fusion, vectorization, parallelization, layout transformation, buffering, sparsity, and quantization. * Develop performance methodologies and improve kernel behavior in areas such as compute utilization, latency, throughput, memory bandwidth, data movement, synchronization, and scaling, turning architectural insights into measurable workload gains. * Build reference models, numerical validation tools, benchmarks, and analytical or simulation-based performance, power, and area models that guide hardware-software co-design; reconcile discrepancies across models, simulators, emulators, and hardware. * Collaborate with hardware, compiler, runtime, and application engineers to deliver maintainable code, tests, documentation, benchmarks, and performance-regression infrastructure., This role will be eligible for our hybrid work model which allows employees to split their time between working on-site at their assigned Intel site and off-site. * Job posting details (such as work model, location or time type) are subject to change. ## Related Videos - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
