ML Research Scientist (MLRS) - Generative AI

Achira New York, NY, US
Full-time $164k - $259k Posted 2 months ago

Role overview

  • check_circle Invent advanced sampling and simulation methods that integrate probabilistic inference, deep learning, and reinforcement learning to enable efficient exploration and simulation of learned energy landscapes for molecular systems.
  • check_circle Design and train frontier generative models: diffusion, autoregressive, flow-based, and latent-variable architectures.
  • check_circle Build models that can map between data distributions to bridge the gap between simulation and reality.
  • check_circle Prototype, benchmark, and iterate rapidly to transform research ideas into reusable and scalable components across Achira’s ecosystem.
  • check_circle Collaborate with physicists and chemists to ensure models are grounded in real physics.
  • check_circle Work with research engineers and the infrastructure team to identify where research ideas will need support in order to deliver effective results.

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience working with models that operate on 3-D point clouds and dynamic data.
  • Experience in sequential monte carlo methods.
  • Experience with probabilistic programming.
  • Experience with pre-training, mid-training, and post-training (especially reenforcement learning) parts of the model development process.
  • Familiarity with statistical mechanics: working knowledge of sampling, estimators, and the Crooks/Jarzynski perspective of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics.
  • Prior experience working in or with researchers in the domains of computational chemistry, biology, or materials science.
  • Experience working with multi-cloud distributed compute systems.
  • Experience working with multi-site distributed company team.
