(Senior) AI Scientist (m/f/d)
On-siteNew York, United States
Job Summary
Develop simulation environments and reinforcement learning methods for robotics and mechatronics systems. Research neural generative reasoning over formal, ontology-constrained representations using transformer or diffusion architectures. Design constraint-aware combinatorial and graph search methods that integrate neural proposal operators with deterministic solvers and physics-based simulations. Work on causal modeling, physical plausibility, and cross-domain constraint propagation within a typed engineering ontology. Generate and validate synthetic, physically-grounded training data for rare or safety-critical engineering scenarios. Publish internally and externally to contribute to scientific credibility in the field. This role requires a PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Physics, or Applied Mathematics with strong publication records in advanced AI and generative modeling.
Required Qualifications
- PhD (or equivalent research experience) in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related computational field
- Strong publication record or demonstrable research depth in advanced AI, generative modeling, reinforcement learning, world models, or graph-based reasoning
- Hands-on experience with transformer and/or diffusion architectures beyond natural language: structured, constrained, or multimodal generation
- Comfort working with formal representations: ontologies, typed graphs, constraint satisfaction, or symbolic-neural hybrid systems
- Solid software engineering practice (Python, PyTorch/JAX): you can take research from notebook to reproducible pipeline
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams
