This position requires candidates to upload a resume in English; you are welcome to upload multiple versions of your resume if you prefer but an English version of your resume will be required to be considered for this position.
With the support of the Jalisco State Government, we offer a program for your development that includes learning through assignments in projects, specific courses on Semiconductor Development and different abilities to work in high-performance teams.
At Intel, we are defining the next generation of autonomous robotics and physical AI. Our focus is on deploying highly optimized AI algorithms across severely constrained edge platforms-from drones to legged robots-to solve complex challenges in multi-robot orchestration and human-robot interaction.
We are scaling this expertise from advanced research into production-ready innovation. By hardening algorithms for critical, real-world environments, integrating cutting-edge event-based sensors, and tailoring advanced AI models specifically for Intel compute architectures, Intel is delivering high-performance, cloud-independent edge solutions for tomorrow's intelligent physical systems. If you are driven to solve hard problems in robotics and want to build autonomous systems that operate at the absolute edge of performance, join us.
Position Overview
