2026 Internship Project: Quantum Hardware Characterization (Software)
About The Position
We are seeking a motivated undergraduate intern to support software development for the characterization of advanced microwave amplifiers used in next-generation quantum systems. The intern will migrate and standardize measurement scripts into the companyâs software stack, working closely with hardware and software engineers. This role provides hands-on exposure to microwave measurement systems, applied physics concepts in quantum sensing, hardwareâsoftware integration, and production-level engineering workflows. The completed migration will directly support scalable quantum architectures by enabling more robust and maintainable measurement infrastructure.
Requirements
- Currently pursuing a Bachelorâs degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related technical field
- Coursework or exposure in microwave engineering, RF systems, electronics, or applied physics
- Strong proficiency in Python
- Experience with scientific computing and data processing
- Familiarity with Git and version control workflows
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work independently and manage project milestones
Nice To Haves
- Experience supporting RF and microwave test instrumentation (e.g., vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers)
- Conceptual familiarity with high-frequency amplifiers or quantum hardware
- Experience with modular or structured software architectures
Responsibilities
- Migrate and refactor legacy characterization scripts into the companyâs software stack
- Support measurement workflows for microwave amplifier testing
