Senior AI Engineer

The role

You will lead the advancement of core algorithms for generative design, simulation-aware geometry creation, and process acceleration. You will develop foundation models, agentic VLM frameworks, and reinforcement learning models to automate spacecraft design.

What you will do

• Develop and maintain foundation models with strong spatial reasoning capability
• Design complex self-supervised and low-data/low-fidelity model training schemes
• Develop and deploy automation tooling using classical and learning-based methods
• Develop and deploy agentic VLM frameworks to parse technical documents and specs
• Build and train models using reinforcement learning to explore design spaces
• Interface with physical simulation tools and CAD environments
• Collaborate daily with engineers building real hardware

Required qualifications

• Master’s degree or higher in Computer Science, ML/AI, or a related technical field
• Significant experience in ML/AI through academic or industry research, personal projects, or internships beyond coursework
• Significant experience in classical algorithm development through academic or industry research, personal projects, or internships beyond coursework
• 4+ years of experience building advanced ML/AI systems
• Strong proficiency in Python (specifically PyTorch and other standard Python libraries), C++, and C#
• Ability to think clearly about tradeoffs between simulation fidelity, inference speed, and manufacturability

Nice to have

• Experience working with physics-informed deep learning models and PDE-grounded neural networks
• Experience working with and adapting enterprise software outside of API usage
• Hands-on ability to prototype, build, and debug hardware systems
• Prior experience working in the aerospace industry
• Familiarity with spacecraft concepts, astrodynamics, or control systems
• Familiarity with data/differential privacy methods for deep learning

Benefits

• Equity
• Unlimited PTO
• Medical (Platinum coverage)
• Vision Insurance
• Dental Insurance
• Catering provided on-site everyday
