Research Intern (PhD), Autonomous Infrastructure and Telemetry

Overview

Research Intern focused on exploring agentic and autonomous approaches to operating AI datacenter platforms and network fabrics, using telemetry and observability to drive self-managing systems. The role involves original research, prototyping, and investigating technologies for autonomous infrastructure and telemetry.

What you'll do

• Explore agentic AI approaches to autonomous network and platform operations.
• Experiment with telemetry and observability as inputs to autonomous decision-making.
• Investigate next-generation datacenter protocols, including MRC, UAL, and ESUN, across the fabric.
• Prototype ideas for autonomous platform and fabric management in datacenter systems.

What you'll need

• Be enrolled in a PhD, MS by Research, or MTech by Research program in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electronics or Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Have strong fundamentals in computer networks, operating systems, and distributed systems.
• Have curiosity about agentic and autonomous systems, and how AI can drive self-managing infrastructure.
• Have exposure to telemetry and observability concepts, such as streaming standards including gNMI or IPFIX, or eagerness to go deep.
• Have interest in platform management and security concepts, including BMC, out-of-band management, and protocols such as Redfish, IPMI, MCTP, PLDM, and SPDM.
• Program in C/C++, Python, or Go.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with SONiC or open network operating systems.
• Interest in autonomous network operations or next-generation datacenter fabrics.
