Foundational AI Research Intern

Job Description

We are seeking a machine learning researcher with strong hands-on implementation skills to join our team as a Foundational AI Research Intern. You will work on complex, industrial-scale problems involving multi-objective constrained optimization. The solutions you explore will require core machine learning techniques as well as classical combinatorial optimization and search techniques.

In this role, examples of your responsibilities are:  

• Conduct research on complex, industrial-scale problems involving multi-objective constrained optimization.
• Develop and implement solutions using core machine learning techniques and classical combinatorial optimization and search techniques.
• Collaborate with team members to explore innovative approaches to solve challenging problems.
• Contribute to the development of research papers and publications in top machine learning conferences

Qualifications

You must possess the below minimum education requirements and minimum required qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Relevant experience can be obtained through schoolwork, classes, project work, internships, and/or military experience. Additional preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

Minimum Qualifications:  

• Must be pursuing a PhD in Electrical Engineering with 1+ years of research experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or STEM-related field.
• 1+ years of experience and solid background in modern machine learning architectures such as Transformers, Graph Neural Networks, and Diffusion models.
• 1+ years of experience and strong coding skills in Python and C++.
• 1+ years of experience with machine learning frameworks like PyTorch.
• At least 1 publication in top machine learning conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, or ICLR.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior work on deep learning on graphs (e.g., general graphs, circuit graphs, molecular graphs, or trees).
• Familiarity with classical search and optimization techniques like Genetic Algorithms, Monte-Carlo Tree Search, and Dijkstra's Algorithm.
• Experience with EDA tools, either commercial or open-source.
• Publications in top-tier venues in AI for chip design or combinatorial optimization
