About our group:
This internship provides hands-on experience developing and optimizing our Edge AI Platform, which brings AI inference and intelligent data processing closer to storage systems and edge devices. Interns may also explore physical intelligence applications using collaborative robots (cobots) and sensors such as cameras and lidar. You will work alongside hardware and software technologists and engineers in the Seagate Research Group. Seagate Research develops next-generation technologies for future edge and mass-capacity products. Our team of computer and electrical engineers prototypes new edge AI solutions using machine learning, embedded systems, robotics, and emerging hardware and software technologies. We also explore AI-powered development tools and new engineering practices to accelerate research and prototyping.
About the role - you will:
Learn the architecture and design of edge AI platforms for storage and embedded systems. Design, prototype, and optimize AI inference pipelines and software for the Edge AI Platform. Explore how AI workloads interact with hardware, operating systems, storage, memory, and accelerators on edge devices. Integrate and experiment with devices and sensors such as cameras, lidar, and robotic systems. Measure and optimize AI inference performance, including latency, throughput, resource utilization, and power efficiency. Develop software using Python, C/C++. Collaborate with hardware and software technologists and engineers on research prototypes and demonstrations. Document designs, experiments, results, and lessons learned.
About you:
Self-motivated and able to work independently while collaborating effectively with a technical team. Curious and eager to learn new hardware, software, and AI technologies. Strong problem-solving and debugging skills. Effective verbal and written communication skills. Comfortable working with a diverse group of engineers and researchers.
Your experience includes:
Programming experience with C or C++ and Python. Experience developing and debugging software in Linux. Understanding of computer architecture, operating systems, or embedded systems. Familiarity with software development tools such as Git, build systems, debuggers, and automated testing. Basic understanding of hardware/software interactions and device communication. Currently pursuing a BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with enrollment in Fall 2027 classes.
Location:
Our Shakopee campus is located 25 minutes southwest of Minneapolis in a setting with a rural vibe – it overlooks a horse racing track and stables, yet it has great entertainment venues close by as well. With wide-open spaces, the campus has plenty of space for running, biking, shooting some hoops or playing volleyball over lunch. If working out is your thing, the on-site fully equipped fitness center hosts wellness programs, tournaments and group workouts. Hungry? Seagate offers an on-site café with freshly sourced foods and specialty coffees, or if you prefer, drive to one of many restaurants just minutes away.
The estimated base wage range for this position is $22-$30/hr. The individual base wage is based on work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Seagate offers comprehensive benefits to its eligible Interns, including, but not limited to, medical, dental, vision, and participation in the employee stock purchase plan. Seagate also offers Interns 12 paid holidays and a minimum of 48 hours of paid sick leave. The benefits for this position are based on a 24 to 40-hour-per-week schedule for a full calendar year and may differ depending on work location and tenure with the Company.
