Job summary

YO AI Labs is seeking a Materials Science Expert to support AI training through computational materials science, modeling, and simulations. You will solve, validate, and review tasks, creating reproducible, programmatic solutions with Python. No prior AI experience is required.

The position is global, fully remote, with ~15 hours per week and flexible scheduling. Candidate will build material structures, run diverse simulations, and analyze properties while diagnosing convergence and modeling

Qualifications

MS/PhD in Materials Science, Metallurgy, or related field; or Mechanical/Chemical Engineering with strong materials specialization.
Experience in computational materials modeling, simulation, characterization, or materials R&D.
Strong Python and programmatic engineering-tool experience.
Ability to explain modeling assumptions, validate results, and distinguish computational errors from physical behavior.

Responsibilities

Solve and validate computational materials science problems.
Build material structures, compositions, and simulation inputs.
Run and analyze atomistic, electronic, molecular-dynamics, continuum, or electrochemical simulations.
Use Python to automate simulations, parameter sweeps, and data analysis.
Analyze mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and structural properties.
Diagnose convergence, numerical, modeling, and physical-assumption issues.
Compare results with experiments, literature, and expected physical trends.
Review AI-generated solutions and develop reliable reference solutions.
