This technology is particularly relevant for MRAM memories, magnetic sensors, and neuromorphic components dedicated to artificial intelligence. Spin-Ion Technologies aims to establish a new industrial standard by equipping production lines of semiconductor manufacturers.Current artificial intelligence systems are extremely energy-intensive. To address this challenge, neuromorphic computing draws inspiration from the human brain by using new hardware components, such as MRAM memories, that enable computation directly within memory (In-Memory Computing). This approach drastically reduces energy consumption compared to current solutions (GPUs, TPUs…).Following a first proof of concept of a neuromorphic chip developed in partnership with a major industrial player, this internship will focus on the development, optimization, and validation of algorithms designed to leverage the behavior of spintronic neuromorphic devices. The main objective will be to develop innovative neural network algorithms that integrate the physical constraints of the neuromorphic chip. This approach will enable ultra-low‑power use cases, ranging from medical applications to robotics.The internship will take place at the heart of a deeptech startup, offering full immersion in an environment that combines cutting-edge research, semiconductor technologies, and industrial applications.
