Research Intern Maia 200 Development

Research Internships at Microsoft provide a dynamic environment for research careers with a network of world-class research labs led by globally-recognized scientists and engineers who pursue innovation in a range of scientific and technical disciplines to help solve complex challenges in diverse fields including computing healthcare economics and the environment.

Our group focuses on the co-design of artificial intelligence models (AI) systems software and custom hardware for large-scale inference. Research Interns working on Azure Microsoft Artificial Intelligence Accelerator 200 will explore how future artificial intelligence workloads interact with a modern software-defined dataflow architecture specialized direct memory access (DMA) and communication engines compiler technology and large-scale distributed systems. Research topics range from performance analysis and roofline modeling to kernel optimization scheduling memory hierarchy design and automated performance tuning. Research Interns are encouraged to publish their work where appropriate and will collaborate with leading researchers and engineers across Microsofts silicon systems and artificial intelligence organizations.

Research Interns put inquiry and theory into practice. Alongside fellow doctoral candidates and some of the worlds best researchers Research Interns learn collaborate and network for life. Research Interns not only advance their own careers but they also contribute to exciting research and development strides. During the 12-week internship Research Interns are paired with mentors and expected to collaborate with other Research Interns and researchers present findings and contribute to the vibrant life of the community. Research internships are available in all areas of research and are offered year-round though they typically begin in the summer.
