Whether enabling hypersonic flight or protecting critical systems, our solutions push the limits of what’s possible. Cambium solves mission-critical problems in defense and industry. Our team of world-class scientists and engineers was purpose built to take on those challenges. Come join us and revolutionize advanced materials for defense, aerospace, and beyond.

The Role

We are seeking a AI Scientist/Engineer to join our team in developing and supporting materials discovery and design. The ideal candidate will have strong experience building AI-based solutions push the state of the art, including neural network architecture, attention mechanisms, multi-modal learning, aggregating and structuring training data, statistical theory, and cloud-based compute for parallelized, scalable and automated workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop and deploy multi-modal AI, ML, and hybrid physical-based models to solve ground-breaking material physics and design problems.

• Aggregate, process, transform and quality-control experimental and simulation data for modeling and analysis.

• Design, develop, and maintain data workflows to support materials informatics initiatives. Optimize data pipelines and model execution on parallel cloud systems (e.g., Azure, GCP, AWS).

• Collaborate with materials scientists, chemists, and software engineers to integrate analytics and predictive modeling into core R&D workflows.

• Document code, workflows, and best practices to support reproducible research.

Qualifications

• Graduate or undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field.

• 2-4 years of work experience (depending on educational degree) in data science, AI, machine learning, or data engineering roles.

• Expert in Python and data science libraries (e.g., pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow or PyTorch).

• Expertise in use of cloud-based compute environments and tools for parallel or distributed computing.

• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.

Desirable

• Background / experience in scientific, physical, or engineering fields.

• Experience with terraform, containerized workflows, and workflow orchestration.
