Job Title

Job DescriptionAbout UsMediaTek is a key player in the semiconductor industry, with more than 40 offices worldwide. MediaTek Research is our dedicated research lab at the forefront of artificial intelligence. We focus on fundamental AI research aimed at advancing the broader scientific community, as well as applied AI research with potential impact on chip design and communication systems. We are committed to open science and regularly publish in top conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, and ACL.About The InternshipWe are seeking highly motivated and talented PhD students to join our AI research team for a 3–6 month internship. This is an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge projects alongside experienced researchers and engineers, while gaining real-world research experience in a collaborative environment.The internship is ideal for individuals who are curious, self-motivated, and excited to work at the intersection of theory and application. Interns are encouraged to explore bold ideas, contribute to meaningful research, and take ownership of their work.Our team operates in two main directions: one focused on applying AI to the design and optimization of semiconductors and communication systems, and the other dedicated to fundamental research that supports both our applications and the broader scientific community.Current areas of interest include large language models (LLMs), optimization methods for deep learning, reinforcement learning (RL), and generative models.Responsibilities:-Contribute to ongoing research in machine learning and artificial intelligenceHelp develop and implement algorithmsCollaborate with researchers and engineers to explore and evaluate new ideasAssist in preparing publications and technical reportsStay up to date with the latest advancements in AI and related fieldsRequirementQualificationsRequired:Currently enrolled in a PhD program in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, or a related fieldStrong interest in research and a background in machine learning or a related areaExperience with programming languages such as Python, C++, or similarStrong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently and collaborativelyGood communication skills and ability to present complex ideas clearlyNice-to-haveExperience in optimization, reinforcement learning, and/or large language models (LLMs)Familiarity with deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX)Previous research publications or submitted papersWhy Join UsGain hands-on experience in state-of-the-art AI research with real-world applicationsCollaborate with a team of world-class researchers and engineersContribute to open-source efforts and scientific publicationsWork with and learn from leading academic and industry expertsHybrid work arrangementCompetitive internship compensationLocation: London/CambridgeDuration: 3–6 monthsCompetitive Package Available
