Internships at the Xilinx Research Labs in Dublin, Ireland

Xilinx Research Labs is a small, diverse and dynamic part of Xilinx. Through customization and tailored solutions, we investigate how programmable logic and FPGAs can help make data centers faster, cheaper and greener by accelerating common applications and reducing the energy consumption of a given workload. Our team conducts cutting-edge research in topics such as machine learning, HPC and video processing to push the performance envelope of what’s possible with today’s devices and to help shape the next big thing in computing.

 

In particular, the team in Dublin is focused on deep neural networks, including training paradigms and techniques, hardware friendly novel topologies, quantization techniques, and custom hardware architectures that help support the enormous computational workloads associated with the roll-out of AI, even for energy-constrained compute environments. Fulfilling this goal requires top talent and thus we are looking to enrich our team with the finest engineers with bold, collaborative and creative personalities from top universities worldwide.
