Research Scientist Intern

Key Skills

Python Programming, C++, C Programming, Machine learning techniques, Quantum computing

Job Description

The Parallel Computing Lab (PCL) in Intel Labs is seeking a graduate intern in the area of quantum computing research. PCL investigates emerging compute- and data-intensive applications in areas such as artificial intelligence, traditional high-performance computing, big data computing, computational biology, physical simulation, quantum computing, and large-scale optimization problems. We work in close collaboration with leading academic and industry co-travelers to understand the hardware and software architectural implications for Intel's parallel processing platforms.

The intern will be expected to focus on a specific project of mutual interest focusing on a target research problem in this space. In this position, you will be responsible for:

• Implementing, researching, and prototyping new algorithms and approaches.
• Develop state-of-the-art theory and software with the goal of integrating these ideas in the open-source ecosystem and Intel's future product lines.
• Identify and research promising technologies typically 3-5 years prior to product development.
• This requires an understanding of mathematical techniques, benchmarking, and parallel programming.
• You may also participate in the development of intellectual property, but it is not required.

Behavioral traits that we are looking for:

• Motivated individual who can take initiative and perform research independently
• Excellent problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication skills

This is an internship position and compensation will be given accordingly.
