As a Storage Systems Research Scientist Intern at Samsung Semiconductor's Memory Solutions Lab, you will identify and evaluate converged memory/storage workloads, analyze performance bottlenecks on a PoC CMM-H device, and propose software/hardware solutions to optimize performance.  This includes designing, implementing, and evaluating optimizations. You'll collaborate with researchers, create intellectual property, and potentially contribute to publications. The internship requires expertise in computer architecture, performance benchmarking, C/C++, Linux, and Verilog. Database and AI workload analysis skills are preferred.  The role is based in San Jose, California, with a hybrid work model (3 days on-site, 2 days remote).
