Skill 1 Design, develop and deploy multi-modal AI, ML, and hybrid physical-based models to solve ground-breaking material physics and design problems
We are seeking an AI Scientist/Engineer to join our team in developing and supporting materials discovery and design. The ideal candidate will have strong experience building AI-based solutions for building neural network architecture, attention mechanisms, multi-modal learning, aggregating and structuring training data, statistical theory, and cloud-based compute for parallelized, scalable, and automated workflows.
Key Responsibilities
* Design, develop and deploy multi-modal AI, ML, and hybrid physical-based models to solve ground-breaking material physics and design problems.
* Aggregate, process, transform and quality-control experimental and simulation data for modeling and analysis.
* Design, develop, and maintain data workflows to support materials informatics initiatives. Optimize data pipelines and model execution on parallel cloud systems (e.g., Azure, GCP, AWS).
* Collaborate with materials scientists, chemists, and software engineers to integrate analytics and predictive modeling into core R&D workflows.
* Document code, workflows, and best practices to support reproducible research.
* Apply AI and data analytics to optimize material synthesis and processing parameters in real-time, minimizing defects, improving consistency.
Technical Skills:
* Strong proficiency in programming languages like Python and C++.
* Experience with machine learning and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
* Knowledge of generative modeling techniques and architectures (e.g., GANs, VAEs, transformers).
* Knowledge of MLOps, model deployment pipelines, and CI/CD.
* Experience with data cleansing, preprocessing, and feature engineering
Qualifications
* Graduate or undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field.
* 2-4 years of work experience (depending on educational degree) in data science, AI, machine learning, or data engineering roles.
* A strong foundation in the principles of materials science is essential to understand the underlying science and set up meaningful problems for AI.
* Expert in Python and data science libraries (e.g., pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow or PyTorch).
* Expertise in use of cloud-based compute environments and tools for parallel or distributed computing.
* Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
