About the Role

Internship 2027: Engineering - Boston Boston, US | Full-time | Fixed-term| Hybrid Salary: $35-$42 per hour, DOE About us Riverlane's mission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. From advances in materials and climate science to complex chemistry simulation for new drug design, quantum computers will help humanity solve some of its most important challenges. But without QEC, the industry's defining technical challenge, such breakthroughs can never be achieved. Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent, and passion. Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate our cutting-edge R&D in quantum error correction (QEC), Riverlane partners with many of the world’s leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality. We're making remarkable progress and growing fast. About the role Delivering practical quantum error correction requires tightly integrated quantum and classical systems. Decoding algorithms must process large volumes of error data within demanding latency, bandwidth, compute and power constraints. As an engineering Intern, you will investigate the classical computing architectures needed to support scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers. Your project will sit at the intersection of quantum error correction, computer architecture and hardware-software co-design. Depending on the project, you could explore efficient QEC decoding or predecoding methods, model the classical resources required by fault-tolerant quantum programs, or investigate how decoding workloads can be distributed across different levels of a computing system. You will work alongside Riverlane’s researchers and engineers in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with support from a dedicated supervisor. Your work will contribute to our understanding of how QEC systems can meet the performance requirements of incr

Riverlane, a Cambridge company founded in 2016, builds Deltaflow, a real-time system that catches and corrects errors inside quantum computers as they run, plus Deltakit, free open-source software for learning and testing error correction.
