About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Applied AI Scientist, with a focus on language & context modeling, to join our team. This role involves applying ML/AI principles to design, develop, fine-tune, personalize, and miniaturize language and context models for brain-computer interface applications, aiming to improve the lives of patients with physical disabilities.
Responsibilities
- Leverage a deep understanding of LMs to create custom solutions for brain-computer interface applications, including LLM fine-tuning, customization, and dissection.
- Explore a variety of LM strategies of various scales and complexities for tailored integration into other decoding pipelines.
- Characterize agentic AI tools for suitability in product user interfaces.
- Design and build ML pipelines capable of performing flexible, real-time inference with multiple input streams.
- Deploy custom or off-the-shelf state-of-the-art models for parsing audio, video, and application states.
- Perform context engineering to aggregate and model contextual information for use in downstream decoders.
- Dissect models and use interpretability techniques to extract information-rich latent representations from large models for broad and generalized use in other models.
- Miniaturize models for low-latency and computationally inexpensive processing.
- Work collaboratively within a small, cross-functional team to achieve R&D and product-focused goals.
- Maintain versioned, clear, and highly documented code, analysis pipelines, and results for interpretability and reproducibility.
- Contribute to documentation for a Quality Management System, as relevant to ML implementations in medical products.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Math, Engineering, Data Science, or other relevant quantitative field.
- A minimum of 5 years of combined academic and professional ML experience.
