We can’t predict what the future holds, but we know Texas Instruments will have a part in shaping it.

At TI, Systems engineers focus deeply on understanding the technical needs, and future trends of an industry or end equipment, then create new products and innovative forward-looking product roadmaps to solve them. Systems Engineers are an integral part each phase of new product development at TI. In the early stages of product development, systems engineers interface with key stakeholders (customer decision-makers, application engineers, marketing, management, sales, IC design engineers, technology development) to negotiate specifications, perform trade-offs, understand the competitive landscape, and ultimately develop detailed technical definitions for new products. They then collaborate with the full IC development team (design, applications, test, product engineers) to deliver products to the market which are compelling, competitive, cost-conscious, manufacturable, and importantly, successful in growing TI’s business.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our Embedded AI team in Kilby Labs this summer to work on cutting-edge on-device training research and development for resource-constrained microcontroller applications. As a key member of our team, you will focus on enabling learning and adaptation capabilities directly on edge devices with strict power and cost constraints. Your work will involve exploring innovative approaches to co-optimize training algorithms, memory management, and hardware architectures to make on-device learning practical for embedded systems across diverse real-world applications.

In this systems engineering intern role, you’ll have the chance to:

Research and develop memory-efficient on-device training algorithms optimized for microcontroller-class devices, including techniques for supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and tiny reinforcement learning that enable local model adaptation and personalization without extensive cloud connectivity
Explore hardware-aware training algorithm development through system-level co-design, creating novel training methods specifically optimized for future generations of TI's low-power processors and accelerators
Apply edge training techniques to practical real-world applications on TI platforms
Collaborate with internal systems and application engineers to prototype and validate on-device training solutions through simulation, hardware evaluation, and real-world deployment scenarios
Develop and optimize training-aware neural network architectures and reinforcement learning agents specifically tailored for resource-constrained edge platforms with limited memory and compute resources
Investigate memory-efficient backpropagation techniques, gradient compression methods, sparse training approaches, and incremental learning strategies for embedded systems
Participate in the design and implementation of software frameworks and tools for on-device training deployment, benchmarking, and performance analysis across different application domains
Interface with application teams, customers, and internal stakeholders to understand real-world use cases, define system requirements for adaptive edge AI solutions, and identify opportunities for on-device learning in TI's product portfolio

Put your talent to work with us as a systems engineering intern – change the world, love your job!
