Technical Business Development Internship

Machine Learning Engineer

• Advance optimal control strategies: Develop methods to improve the optimization of quantum gates and state-preparation protocols under realistic noise, dissipation, and hardware constraints.
• Explore RL-based control approaches: Formulate selected adaptive control or sequential experiment-design tasks as reinforcement learning problems, and evaluate when RL offers benefits over more structured physics-based methods.
• Design adaptive experiments: Build strategies that use measurement history and model uncertainty to choose the next most informative experiment or control setting.
• Study parameter sensitivity and identifiability: Leverage differentiable simulators and open-system models to understand which experiments best constrain key physical parameters.
• Support hardware integration: Account for practical constraints such as inference speed, transfer latency, and compilation time when designing methods for laboratory use.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with physicists and ML researchers to interpret experimental data and translate complex physical requirements into robust software solutions.
