Student Intern - Research

Join us as an Intern with Nokia Bell Labs in Bangalore. The Bell Labs Platform ASIC Research lab explores advanced computing architectures and algorithms for next-generation communication systems. In this internship, you will focus on enabling energy-efficient AI and wireless communication workloads through hardware-aware AI algorithms, neuromorphic computing, and domain-specific hardware acceleration, with potential exploration of RISC-V-based accelerators. You will work across AI/ML, wireless signal processing, energy-efficient computing, and hardware/software co-design, developing concepts and running experiments in Python and C. The work may also involve evaluating compute and energy-efficiency trade-offs and contributing to Verilog-based implementations, accelerator microarchitecture, or architecture design studies. You will work closely with Nokia Bell Labs researchers on early-stage research that could influence future intelligent and energy-efficient wireless systems.

Responsibilities:

• Explore research ideas related to energy-efficient compute for AI-driven wireless communication systems.
• Study and evaluate neuromorphic computing approaches and their applicability to wireless workloads.
• Develop experimental prototypes, models, and benchmarks using Python and C.
• Explore accelerator concepts, including RISC-V-based acceleration, custom instruction extensions, or hardware/software co-design approaches.
• Potentially contribute to Verilog implementation, microarchitecture exploration, or architecture-level design and simulation.
• Compare conventional AI compute approaches with low-power, event-driven, approximate, or neuromorphic compute techniques.
