Job description

$200K-$350K rare vertical AI for science wide band

Boston / San Francisco (on-site) · Posted July 16, 2026

Why it's interesting

Edison Scientific's Kosmos 'AI scientist' runs hundreds of research tasks in parallel, compressing months of R&D into one run; its forward-deployed AI engineer ($200K-$350K) embeds on-site with a top science org - explicitly 'not remote support or implementation consulting.' After Normal Computing's silicon play, the rarest vertical in the census: FDE for frontier scientific discovery.

The role

AI Engineer - Forward Deployed at Edison Scientific (the AI platform for scientific R&D; Kosmos AI scientist). Embed on-site with a leading science R&D organization, own how Edison's AI agents create value there, map the scientific/operational landscape, and ship solutions end-to-end in fast cycles. Boston/SF, $200K-$350K, 4+ yrs. Verified on Edison Scientific's Greenhouse board.
