About the Role
Join our client-facing solution delivery team as a Materials Data Scientist / Scientific Software Developer. You will leverage deep materials and chemistry expertise with agentic AI coding tools to empower industrial researchers to make faster, better R&D decisions by building data-driven models, AI-based decision-support tools, and analysis pipelines.
Responsibilities
- Design end-to-end materials informatics solutions, applying expertise in materials science, chemistry, and machine learning to translate client R&D problems into architectures for data, models, and applications.
- Utilize AI coding assistants and autonomous coding agents for data exploration, model prototyping, software development, testing, and documentation.
- Direct AI agents by decomposing problems, providing domain context and physical constraints, and iterating towards accurate results.
- Solve complex research and product-development problems in collaboration with clients.
- Build and assemble data-driven models, AI-based decision-support tools, and automated analysis pipelines into web-based solutions with GUIs, graphics, and cloud computing.
- Design and integrate AI-enabled and agentic capabilities into client solutions.
- Apply judgment on the appropriate use of AI and generative approaches, especially with small, sparse, and noisy datasets.
- Participate in collaborative development practices, including code and architecture reviews, sprint planning, retrospectives, and daily standups.
- Interface directly with clients to define, demonstrate, and refine solutions.
- Handle client data and intellectual property responsibly, using AI tools only in approved, secure configurations.
