Quantum Hardware Summer 2026 Internship Program

Sygaldry Technologies • Ann Arbor, MI

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Sygaldry Technologies is building quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially speed up training and inference. By integrating quantum and AI, we are accelerating the path to super intelligence and engineering the conditions for it to scale efficiently and operate affordably. Our AI servers combine multiple qubit types within a single, fault-tolerant architecture to deliver the cost, scale, and speed necessary for advanced AI applications. We pioneer new domains in physics, engineering, and AI, tackling the hardest challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture. We’re looking for individuals ready to define the intersection of quantum and AI and drive its profound global impact.
In this internship, you’ll have the opportunity to do original scientific research toward Sygaldry’s goal of building multimodality quantum computers. Based on your background and interest, projects can include:
Setup and testing of experimental hardware.
Design of optical, mechanical, and/or electronic subsystems.
Automating experimental control systems and data collection using Python.
Characterizing system performance and analyzing experimental data.
Making scientific contributions to the field of experimental quantum physics.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Physics, Engineering (e.g., Electrical, Mechanical), Computer Science (especially AI/ML focus), or a related technical field.
• Strong academic record demonstrating proficiency in core subjects relevant to quantum mechanics, optics, electronics, or scientific computing.
• Enthusiasm to work in a research lab environment and learn about quantum technology.
• Curious, detail-oriented, and eager to learn new tools and techniques.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with optics, electronics, cryogenic and/or vacuum systems, or precision instrumentation.
• Familiarity with CAD software.
• Familiarity with finite-element modeling using tools such as COMSOL.
• Experience with Python, Matlab, or equivalent programming tools for scientific data analysis and automation.
• Prior hands-on experience in a research lab or engineering project is helpful but not required.

Responsibilities

• Setup and testing of experimental hardware.
