Intern - Biometrics/Data Science
Cirrus Logic’s Machine Learning & Algorithm Engineering group is looking for a hardworking Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or Applied Mathematics intern to work with us at our machine learning center of excellence where we apply expertise in deep learning, signal processing, and algorithm design to solve communications, biometric identification, speech recognition, and audio related problems. Our mission is to create advanced computing and signal processing technologies that enhance the end-user experience for top global consumer electronics brands.
Our projects make extensive use of high-dimensional audio and biometric datasets relevant to creating intelligent edge-computing and signal processing products.
Responsibilities:
- Providing quantitative descriptions and analyses of the “data terrain” relevant for the development and deployment of new machine learning-based products.
- Performing ‘deep dive’ statistical testing and error analysis to understand model and algorithm performance.
- Implementing and automating the acquisition, curation and augmentation of data sources for training and testing machine learning models.
- Developing surrogate and complementary data sources to assist model analysis and experimentation.
- Investigating and implementing new features and feature augmentation methods for improving machine learning models.
- Creating novel, custom data visualizations for enhanced insight into source data composition and model performance.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- Fluency in Python and MATLAB and/or R, Scala programming languages.
- Advanced undergraduate and/or graduate-level coursework in signal processing, machine learning, and statistics.
- Data science/data visualization experience through academic or industry projects.
- Proficiency with SQL queries (additional familiarity with NoSQL databases is a plus).
- Experience converting academic papers and ideas into software implementations.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Skills and Qualifications:
- Familiarity with data visualization frameworks such as Tableau, Spotfire, D3.
- Knowledge of acoustics and/or audio-related speech- and signal processing.
- Experience with parallel/distributed computing.
- Experience with UNIX/Linux/Mac OS programming environments.
This opportunity is available for a long semester only, summer only or summer + a long semester. It is available only to students currently enrolled in a MS or PhD program in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or Applied Mathematics (or closely related fields) maintaining a GPA of 3.6 or above, and who will be returning to school for at least one semester after completing his/her internship. Candidate must be available for full time employment during the internship.
This position is located in Salt Lake City, UT.
