About the job
NVIDIA is seeking a graduate research intern to advance integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) on GPU-accelerated platforms. The intern will join a team building AI-native wireless systems and develop, train, and test ISAC algorithms end-to-end on the NVIDIA Aerial Testbed. This role is ideal for a student passionate about deep algorithm work and translating ideas into functional systems.
Responsibilities
- Develop, implement, and benchmark ISAC algorithms in Python on NVIDIA GPU platforms.
- Build radar signal processing pipelines, including radar cube formation, range and Doppler processing, angle estimation, CFAR detection, and clutter suppression.
- Compose new ML model architectures for sensing and joint sensing-communications tasks, and formulate corresponding loss functions and optimization objectives.
- Train and evaluate models in PyTorch using simulated and over-the-air captured data.
- Integrate algorithms with the NVIDIA Aerial Testbed and conduct real-time, over-the-air experiments.
- Document results and contribute to publications, patents, and internal technical reports.
Requirements
- Currently enrolled in an MS or PhD program in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Strong background in AI/ML for wireless communications.
- Solid understanding of ISAC concepts and waveforms, such as OFDM-based sensing.
- Hands-on experience implementing ISAC or radar algorithms in Python.
- Hands-on experience with PyTorch or another machine learning framework (e.g., TensorFlow or JAX).
- Ability to build new ML model architectures and formulate optimization and loss functions.
- Knowledge of ISAC signal processing aspects, including radar cube algorithms and clutter reduction techniques.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work well in a collaborative research team.
Benefits
- Intern hourly rates based on position, location, year in school, degree, and experience.
- Eligibility for Intern benefits.
