Job Description
When you’re part of the team at Thermo Fisher Scientific, you’ll do important work, like helping customers in finding cures for cancer, protecting the environment or making sure our food is safe. Your work will have real-world impact, and you’ll be supported in achieving your career goals. Our staff members are committed to making a difference in our organization, for our client partners and the patients we serve. We seek individuals with proven competencies and strong character to help lead our organization now and into the future.
How will you make an impact?
You will be matched to projects based on your abilities and current business needs. All projects will have significant strategic and/or operating importance to the business to which they are assigned. Projects may include the following responsibilities:
- Explore and setup local LLM for Life Science / Material Science / Semiconductor use cases
- Design of a security suite against malicious LLM attacks.
- Interact with team to augment current development and integrate new insights in short feedback loop
- Proactively prototype ideas and demo / report out to the team
The intern will explore LoRA fine-tuning and skill distillation, develop a proof of concept, and evaluate it on representative workflows. Comparisons with existing skill-based prompting and cloud frontier models will measure workflow completion, generated-code correctness, execution speed, and computing requirements. The project will also investigate how easily proprietary knowledge can be recovered from model outputs or distributed adapters, assessing whether embedding instructions meaningfully reduces intellectual-property exposure. The expected outcome is a working prototype and practical recommendations on the feasibility, limitations, and deployment tradeoffs of this approach.
