About the job
At Orbital Materials, we harness the power of AI to revolutionize data center hardware, ensuring our products consistently outperform the competition. Our advanced AI simulates materials at the atomic level, allowing us to evaluate millions of hardware configurations in the time it would typically take to assess just hundreds. This innovative approach enables us to discover optimal designs that surpass traditional benchmarks, resulting in hardware specifications that competitors cannot match: 1 MW/rack, PUE < 1.04, and 12-week lead times.
As each deployment generates valuable field data, our AI models become increasingly sophisticated. This creates a virtuous cycle where improved models lead to better hardware, which in turn enhances our AI capabilities. We are not merely benefitting from AI advancements; we are actively driving its pace.
Our focus on data centers is driven by an urgent market need and demanding specifications. However, the AI-accelerated development processes we've established—spanning materials discovery, hardware design, and manufacturing optimization—are applicable to any complex physical system. Data centers serve as our initial proof point, not the limit of our ambitions.
With operations in London, Canada, and the USA, we are assembling teams across various domains including ML research, product development, mechanical engineering, and chemical engineering. If you're eager to work at the intersection of AI and physical sciences, we'd love to hear from you.
As a Staff Machine Learning Engineer at Orbital, you will be instrumental in architecting sophisticated AI systems for the multi-scale design of physical technologies. By multi-scale, we mean that we create world-class foundational models capable of simulating everything from the microscopic motion of atoms to the macroscopic flow of liquids in 1GW data centers. You will collaborate across these diverse scales, leveraging the creativity of our scientists and engineers, augmented by premier domain agents.
In this pivotal role, you will establish exceptionally high technical standards and lead projects from initial prototypes to full-scale production deployment. We seek individuals who possess a passion for craftsmanship, a commitment to continual learning, and a drive to build scalable systems. Additionally, we value a low-ego mindset and a genuine enthusiasm for leveraging AI to tackle significant global industrial technology challenges.
