Job description

About Zenithon

Zenithon builds foundation models for extreme physics, accelerating simulation and engineering across fusion energy, semiconductors and aerospace.

The role

You’ll work directly with customers and our research team to turn difficult physics problems into working solutions. You’ll own projects from understanding the problem and training models through to deployment and iteration with users.

What we’re looking for

• Strong physics fundamentals. You can reason about physical systems and the assumptions behind a simulation.
• Hands-on ML experience. You’ve built and trained models, and understand how to evaluate their performance.
• Exceptional learning speed. You ask sharp questions, pick up the information that matters and put it to work quickly.
• A bias for execution. You move fast, take ownership and communicate clearly and efficiently.
• Responsiveness to feedback. You take it well, act on it quickly and improve.

Above all, we care about how quickly you can get up to speed on an unfamiliar problem and deliver something useful.
