About the Job

Requirements

  • Currently enrolled in a Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and C/C++.
  • Experience with a deep-learning framework such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, and with training and evaluating convolutional networks.
  • Good communication skills in English.
  • Autonomy, curiosity, and rigor in experimental work.

Responsibilities

  • Profile the existing DeepPVR implementation to identify compute, memory, and data-transfer bottlenecks.
  • Re-implement and optimize the inference pipeline for real-time execution on modern GPUs, using tools such as CUDA, TensorRT, or ONNX Runtime.
  • Port the model to mobile devices with TPU/NPU accelerators using on-device inference frameworks such as LiteRT/TensorFlow Lite, Core ML, or Qualcomm AI Engine, and optimize it for real-time throughput.
  • Explore network-architecture modifications such as pruning, quantization, knowledge distillation, and lightweight backbones, and quantify their impact on runtime, power savings, and visual quality.
  • Design and run experiments measuring the battery-life impact of running DeepPVR in real time on mobile devices, separating display power savings from added compute cost.
  • Document the work, present results to the team, and contribute to publications or invention disclosures where relevant.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with GPU programming or inference optimization using CUDA, TensorRT, ONNX, LiteRT/TensorFlow Lite, or Core ML.
  • Familiarity with model-compression techniques such as pruning, quantization, and distillation.
  • Knowledge of image processing, display technologies such as OLED and LCD local dimming, or perceptual image quality.
  • Experience with mobile development for Android or iOS, on-device benchmarking, or power measurement.
  • French communication skills.

About the Company

Interdigital

Licenses wireless and video technology patents

InterDigital develops wireless and video technologies and builds a large portfolio of patents. It invents new technologies, patents them, and licenses the intellectual property to mobile device makers, networks, and services providers. Its products work by providing foundational technologies that enable devices and networks to communicate and deliver video services, and its revenue comes from licensing those patents rather than selling hardware. What sets InterDigital apart is its extensive patent portfolio (tens of thousands of patents and applications), its focus on contributing technologies to global standards, and its licensing-based business model that monetizes R&D. The company operates worldwide with major manufacturers and technology companies as clients, aiming to influence the telecommunications ecosystem through standards participation. The goal is to enable connected and immersive experiences by developing and licensing foundational wireless and video technologies.
