The Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic intern to transform our FPGA run outputs into clear insights and simple predictive tools. You will work on structuring results, visualizing trends, and training a first surrogate performance models to guide design-space exploration. This role provides a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in data engineering for HW/SW co-design, experiment analytics, and modeling to inform next steps in the design process.

Expected duration: 3 to 5 months. It is an internship role.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the research of tools and methods to organize logs, traces, and metrics into a clean, reusable dataset.
• Support the definition of a consistent schema for hardware configs, workloads, and software schedules.
• Assist in building visualization tools to enable the latency, throughput, and resource use.
• Train and evaluate:e simple surrogate models (e.g., Random Forest / Gradient Boosting, neural networks) to predict performance.
• Collaborate with team members to interpret findings, explain trade-offs, and propose next experiments.
  
  

Key Qualifications

• Knowledge of at least one general programming language like Python and data analysis libraries (pandas, numpy).
• Familiarity with plotting libraries (matplotlib or plotly) to create clear, publication-quality figures.
• Understanding of regression/classification concepts and validation (train/val split, MAE/MAPE).
• Data preprocessing techniques to train ML models.
• Experience with Deep Learining libraries like Tensorflow, Keras and/or Pytorch.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building small dashboards (Streamlit or Plotly Dash) or well-documented Jupyter notebooks.
• Prior experience working on AI/ML projects.
• Exposure to performance data or benchmarking workflows.
• Comfort with git/GitHub and writing concise READMEs.
• Experience/awareness of machine learning compilation and modeling frameworks such as TVM.
  
  

Soft Skills

• Proactive and solutions-oriented.
• Highly organized and process-driven.
• Strong interpersonal skills; ability to handle sensitive situations with empathy and clarity.
• Team player who thrives in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
