Jobs at InterDigital, Inc.

Leads engineering for the AI Transformation team, setting architecture and technical direction, managing delivery, building the engineering organization, and developing reusable platforms and services. Translates business requirements into scalable systems, anticipates reliability, security, cost, and integration risks, and establishes production measurement and evaluation practices. Requires strong software architecture, people leadership, modern AI application architecture, cloud expertise with Azure preferred, Python, quantitative rigor, and experience transforming engineering practices.

Conduct advanced research on AI-enabled wireless and 6G systems, designing and integrating end-to-end testbeds, simulations, prototypes, and demonstrations. Develop AI/ML techniques for distributed intelligence, networking, sensing, and edge/cloud systems; evaluate performance through rigorous experiments; and produce software, technical reports, publications, patents, and future standards contributions. The role collaborates across wireless, AI, video, prototyping, and standards teams.

Support worldwide patent portfolio operations, including invention disclosures, prosecution counsel workflows, portfolio reviews, vendor coordination, IP management system data, patent portfolio transactions, invoice approvals, Legal Tracker administration, and departmental projects. Serve as a subject matter expert on patent policies and procedures while maintaining deadlines and operational efficiency.

Supports corporate development and strategy projects through market and customer analysis, financial modeling, valuation, business case development, and M&A transaction support. Conducts competitive and technology research, contributes to cross-functional workstreams, identifies growth and partnership opportunities, synthesizes findings into management presentations, and develops recommendations for decision-making.

Join InterDigital to research and develop haptics and sensing signal encoding solutions. Responsibilities include studying current technologies, proposing new encoding methods, and developing proof of concepts for evaluation.

Research and develop spatio-temporal hybrid implicit neural representations for learned video compression. Design hierarchical spatio-temporal latent representations, continuous temporal prediction, hierarchical context models for entropy coding, and lightweight decoder architectures. Evaluate rate-distortion-complexity against state-of-the-art codecs, publish findings, and contribute to standards and practical deployment of energy-efficient AI video codecs.

Manage and prosecute a global patent portfolio in wireless and video technologies; prepare and file EP/US/PCT and related applications; collaborate with inventors, licensing and litigation teams; map claims to standards and products; support post-grant reviews, assertion efforts, acquisitions, and SSO declarations.

PhD research role to develop compact, controllable Gaussian-avatar representations for real-time multi-user videoconferencing and metaverse applications. Work includes geometry-aware 3D Gaussian Splatting, semantic animation control (joints/blendshapes), full-body integration, compression/robustness, and perceptual evaluation. Results targeted for standard-compatible formats, patents, and top-tier graphics/VR/AI publications.

Manage a global payroll team processing payroll for 500 employees across 7 countries. Ensure compliance, accuracy, and improve processes.
