The Customer Applications team is seeking a motivated, experienced Systems Applications Engineering Intern to provide support to our AI Solutions BU located at ADI’s downtown Boston, MA location. The AI Solutions BU is a new venture within the Digital Business Unit that is tasked with adding AI to and around ADI’s products and solutions. Working alongside your teammates in sister groups within the AI Solutions BU that span embedded, cloud, AI systems, you will develop strong hands-on and communication skills by taking ideas from prototype to customer-facing demonstration platforms and reference designs. We are a small, close-knit group that works collaboratively together to create some of the most innovative products that are poised to disrupt the semiconductor space! Come join us and invent the future together!

Responsibilities include, but not limited to:

As a Systems Applications Engineering Intern in the AI Solutions BU, you will collaborate with our advanced algorithm and software teams to bring up proof of concept and customer demonstration systems that showcase our state-of-the-art machine learning and signal processing algorithms. In this role, you will also get to work with our customers to understand their requirements and select appropriate hardware and software libraries that highlight the AI Solutions BU’s innovation and business value. You will work with a variety of embedded systems, software architectures, and lab equipment to define and develop systems that accelerate products through various phases in their life cycle.

Build system prototyping/evaluation lab setups. You will collaborate with our System Architects, Algorithm Designers, Software and Hardware Engineers to develop prototyping and evaluation systems, including data collection routines and test plans that follow hardware/software best practices, and ensure that the product’s data collection phase services the product requirements. You will create documentation for fellow developers and users of the system. You will integrate hardware and software, bring-up and debug the system, take robust measurements and document the results to make sure the system meets requirements.

Build and present customer demos. As a Systems Apps Intern, you will work with System Architects and stakeholders to interact with customers and elicit customer requirements, demonstrate the team’s work, and identify business value for the product. You will also work with customers to ensure that the product demo functions as intended, and modify the deliverables to suit evolving requirements. Our customers can be within ADI (business units and technology groups) or external to ADI.

Implement advanced algorithms on embedded systems. You will collaborate with our System Architects, Algorithm Designers, Software and Hardware Engineers to validate algorithms in high-level programming languages (e.g., Python or MATLAB) using frameworks available at your disposal. Our algorithms often involve traditional computer vision and DSP routines, as well as state-of-the-art deep neural network models. You will define hardware requirements, select software libraries, write new software and finally validate that the embedded algorithm matches the expected performance. You will apply modern software-engineering best practices in all of your work. You will document and present your work to the team. Your final result will be bringing the algorithms to life and putting them in customer hands.
