What You'll Do

Collaborate with peers who have diverse backgrounds in physics, computer science, mathematics, and engineering

Develop and optimize application-specific deep neural network architectures and measure their performance

Draw on your in-depth experience developing machine learning methods

Research state-of-the-art methods for a given task, implement and improve upon these techniques to provide application specific solutions

Contribute to crafting reports, drafting patents, authoring publications, and attending conferences

Collaborate with electronics engineers to develop low-energy consumption AI processors

What You'll Bring

A minimum of a Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or another technical discipline (candidates with a PhD in similar disciplines are preferred)

3+ years of experience solving real-world data-centric problems with machine learning

2+ years of applied experience with deep learning

3+ years of experience using Python

Experience designing deep learning architectures from scratch, beyond implementing “plug-and-play” solutions

Extensive experience of machine learning, scientific computing, and data analysis Python packages (e.g., PyTorch, Numpy, Jax)

A strong track record in scientific research with experience writing scientific articles or technical documents

Outstanding communication, organization, and leadership skills

Experience with time-series forecasting, signal processing, or stochastic differential equations is a plus

Experience with downsizing and/or minimizing ML models or working with sparse models is a plus

Experience with inference on the edge, TinyML, FPGA, or microcontrollers is a plus

Experience managing large-scale, collaborative development projects (e.g., multi-contributor workflows on GitHub) is a plus
