2022 DSP Architecture and Programming Methodology Intern

Company: Mediatek
Location: Woburn
Posted on: January 16, 2022

Job Description:

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes when you surf the web on your smartphone and even more that goes on when the (huge!) chip at the heart of the system is designed and implemented. Come and be a part of the Mediatek modem team and learn what we do. You will make real contributions to next-generation 5G wireless products that will be used by millions of people! The team in Woburn MA seeks motivated PhD or MS candidates in the area of automation, architectural evaluation, algorithm-to-firmware development methodology, and programming languages and tools, for multi-core vector processor used in software-defined radio (SDR) wireless systems. During your internship, you can work on one of several projects, including:

• Using techniques and ideas from approximate computing to reduce modem area and energy consumption while maintaining acceptable signal quality and cycle performance
• Using simulation and/or analytic techniques to determine whether the modem hardware and firmware is sufficiently well verified
• Exploring new approaches to high-performance simulation and verification of multicore processor systems
• Efficiency analysis of hardware and firmware verification. We spend enormous time and resources to verify our models and firmware and it would be nice to figure out where we could improve: either do better verification with the same resource and time (fewer escaped bugs), or same verification with far less resource (especially human time/manual effort).
  • or propose your own project that we would find interesting! The ideal candidate will have a background in one or more of the areas outlined above, and will have very strong C++ and Python implementation skills. Qualifications:
    • PhD/MS candidate in electrical/computer engineering, computer science or related field
    • Passion for programming languages, computer architecture and/or code optimization.
    • Excellent programming skills C/C++ required, Python is helpful Experience with automated analysis and CI/CD systems is also helpful Experience with assembly language is a plus
      • Problem solving and analysis skills
      • Expertise in processor architecture or instruction sets are pluses
      • Wireless background is a plusby Jobble
