SandboxAQ is solving challenging problems with AI + Quantum for positive impact. We partner with global leaders in government, academia, and the private sector to identify applications that would benefit from quantum-based applications to current and future commercial challenges. We engage with customers early and throughout the development process to improve market fit.

Our team’s unique approach enables cross-pollination across a diverse range of fields, from physics, computer science, neuroscience, mathematics, cryptography, natural sciences and more! Our success comes from coalescing diverse talent to create an environment where experimental thinking and collaboration yield breakthrough AI + Quantum solutions. Join a culture where thought leadership, diverse talent, employee engagement, and technological impact will create the next tech uproar.

We are deeply committed to education as a means to advance quantum solutions and computing initiatives. We invest in future talent through internship programs, research papers, developer tools, textbooks, educational talks/events and partnerships with universities/talent hubs to attract multi-disciplinary talent. Our hope is to inspire people from all walks of life to be prepared for the quantum era and encourage a path in STEM.

We are currently looking for PhD students in a wide variety of STEM fields — physics, computer science, AI, neuroscience, chemistry, cryptography, mathematics/statistics, biomedical engineering, aerospace engineering, geophysics, and more — to join our world-class team of engineers, scientists and technologists.

AI & Machine Learning

Our AI & ML team is focused on bringing cutting-edge techniques to bear on high-impact problems. We engage in deep research while maintaining close contact with the needs of the customers.  New generative methods and technologies like GPT-3, DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion, and others based on foundation models are paving the way for a new set of real-world applications of AI. As a resident, you will take ownership of a project to advance the way these tools are used in the real world.

We are looking for candidates with:

• Familiarity with common AI/ML tools (TensorFlow, JAX, PyTorch, etc.)
• Familiarity with the latest developments in AI and machine learning, including LLMs VLMs
• Strong research publications
• Experience with rapid prototyping to deploy AI/ML models with quick turnaround
• Expertise in one or more focus areas of ML, such as NLP, time series analysis, image classification, Bayesian optimization, etc.

Details

• Location: Remote. *hardware/laboratory residents for Quantum Sensing onsite in SF Bay, CA
• Start date: Year-round, on a rolling basis
• Duration: Flexible, typically between 3 months to one year

Eligibility

• Currently enrolled in a STEM PhD program: math, computer science, engineering, physics, or related field. **Non-PhD post-graduate students may be considered on a case-by-case basis (e.g. MD, Masters)
• Proficiency with at least one programming language (Python, C/C++, Matlab, etc.)
• For questions, email [email protected]

What to Expect

• Work on a technical project with scientists and engineers on one of our core teams
• Engagement with fellow residents
• Competitive compensation
• Present findings to the rest of Sandbox AQ
• Have fun!

SandboxAQ welcomes all.

We are committed to creating an inclusive culture where we have zero tolerance for discrimination. We invest in our employees' personal and professional growth.
