Job Description
Primary Function of Position:
Within the Advanced Imaging and Intelligence group (AI&I), the Advanced Imaging team develops novel imaging capabilities to help surgeons see what they need to see (https://www.intuitive.com/en-us/about-us/newsroom/helping-robotic-surgeons-see). The intern will report to the Director of Advanced Imaging and be mentored by a Principal Engineer within AI&I.
The main responsibility of this position is to create real time imaging pipeline infrastructure using a combination of MATLAB (makes it easy to develop, configure and modify pipelines) and CUDA (allows real-time performance). This allows testing and developing new imaging modalities that will enable improved surgeries.
Roles & Responsibilities:
Our prototype real-time pipelines enable new imaging capabilities while allowing simplified development with improved performance by combining scripting languages with CUDA.
We seek a candidate with strong software development and integration skills to interface our easily configurable MATLAB image processing stages to new CUDA functions for real-time processing and display. The work requires developing, debugging, and testing using both CUDA/C++ and MATLAB. As an intern, you should be able to:
- Define software interfaces between the MATLAB and CUDA components
- Write a specified pipeline by implementing MATLAB and CUDA code
- Write tools for testing pipeline operation
- Write tools to compile necessary components
- Write examples and documentation for other users desiring to create their own imaging pipelines
Qualifications
University Hiring Program Eligibility Requirements:
- University Enrollment: Must be currently enrolled in and returning to an accredited degree-seeking academic program in the Fall.
- Internship Work Period: Must be available to work full-time (approximately 40 hours per week) during a 10-12 week period starting May or June. Specific start dates are shared during the recruiting process.
Skills, Experience, Education, & Training:
- Current enrollment in a Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, or related degree-seeking program at the Doctorate level. Master’s level students with relevant experience are also very welcome to apply.
- Be able to read and understand complex software that involves both MATLAB and CUDA components.
- Proficient with CUDA/C++
- Proficient with MATLAB
- Python knowledge a plus
- Able to develop both on Linux and Windows
- Experienced in building complex software systems
- Able to communicate designs, approaches and ideas well, while accomplishing the goals of the project.
