XMOS is a Bristol based fabless semiconductor company. Our multicore microcontrollers can be found in millions of devices, from robotics to voice assistants, e-bikes to conference systems. Our processor architecture uniquely provides the flexibility of an FPGA, delivers predictable hard real-time DSP and the acceleration of vector processing required to run today’s AI applications.

We are now embarking on the design of our 4th generation processor, targeting energy efficient edge-AIoT for smart consumer devices.

Join the team

We are looking for summer interns to join the team. There are roles available in many of the software and hardware teams covering many aspects of bringing cutting edge AI chips to market.

Based in our Bristol (UK) office, you will be supervised and mentored by senior level engineers, attend team meetings, and periodically report to your supervisor. You can also expect to interact with engineers in other teams from across the company.

What we are looking for

To excel in this role you will be energetic, keen to learn, and enjoy complex technical challenges. You will be pursuing an engineering or science degree with educational or hands-on experience in:

Ideally you will have an appreciation of some of these topics:

• Programming microcontrollers.
• Contributing to open-source (including your own) projects.
• Scripting, such as Python.
• Continuous integration and deployment.
• Electronic circuit design.
• Digital signal processing.
• Machine learning or artificial intelligence.

Previous projects have included:

Technology Team

• CI/CD work for automation
• Visualisation tools for code analysis
• Dataset generation
• ML model training

Applications team

• Benchmarking performance of XCore against competitors
• Regression testsing/automation
• Writing example applications using microphones/cameras/etc

Tools Team

• Working on the assembler
• Modelling dual issue pipeline

Silicon Team

• RTL design
• Power testing the chip, writing programs to make it hot.
• Verification
