Member of Technical Staff - Research Intern
Architect Labs, Palo Alto
What you will do
As a Research Intern at Architect, you will spend 3 months working alongside the founding team to push the boundaries of how AI models explore and optimize hardware designs. This is a high-impact role where your experiments will directly influence our core modeling roadmap.
- Responsible for co-designing and implementing the Reinforcement Learning experiments (GRPO/PPO/DPO), training data mixes and reward signal explorations.
- Contribute to research on post-training techniques, running ablation studies to improve model reasoning and alignment capabilities.
- Implement and test new algorithms for model fine-tuning and evaluation, helping to translate research papers into working prototypes.
- Analyze experimental results and debug model behavior to help establish best practices for our training recipes.
What you need
- Education: Currently pursuing a PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, or a related field. Exceptional undergraduates with strong research experience are also encouraged to apply.
