About The Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Machine Learning Scientist with expertise in environmental sensing and multivariate sensor data analysis. The ideal candidate will design, implement, and optimize models for detecting, localizing, and visualizing airborne compounds in real-world environments. This role requires strong technical depth in ML for sensor fusion, as well as experience with computational modeling of dispersion patterns and 3D visualization of concentration fields.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and deploy ML models for detecting and quantifying airborne compounds from multivariate gas sensor data.
Design algorithms to estimate concentration gradients, source localization, and spatiotemporal plume dispersion.
Create 3D visualization tools for mapping gas dispersion and dynamics in the environment, integrating data from a distributed grid of sensors.
Build scalable systems for real-time sensor data ingestion, preprocessing, and fusion across large sensor arrays.
Implement physics-informed ML methods (e.g., CFD-informed priors, Gaussian plume models, graph neural networks for spatial grids).
Collaborate with hardware and embedded systems engineers to ensure ML pipelines are optimized for field deployment.
Prototype and refine 3D mapping tools that enable end-users to monitor airborne compound plumes as volumetric “cloud maps.”
Validate models using both simulated and real-world datasets; design experiments to improve detection accuracy and robustness.

Qualifications

Doctorate degree in a relevant field (e.g., chemistry (molecular), materials science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and chemical engineering, computer science)

OR

Master's degree in a relevant field (e.g., chemistry (molecular), materials science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and chemical engineering, computer science) AND 3+ years of experience in a relevant field leading or contributing to multidisciplinary projects where scope requires reliance on the technical experience of other team members

Strong background in machine learning for time-series and multivariate sensor data.
Experience with computational fluid dynamics (CFD), plume dispersion models, or environmental modeling.
Expertise in 3D data visualization (e.g., Unity, WebGL, Three.js, ParaView, or similar frameworks).
Strong proficiency with Python, TensorFlow/PyTorch, and data visualization libraries.
Familiarity with distributed sensor networks, IoT data pipelines, and real-time analytics.
Ability to integrate physics-based models with data-driven ML approaches.
Track record of publishing, prototyping, or deploying advanced sensing/ML systems.
US Citizen or Permanent Resident due to Export Control/ITAR

Preferred Skills

Experience with Bayesian inference, spatiotemporal statistics, or probabilistic graphical models.
Knowledge of GIS systems, spatial data indexing, or large-scale environmental datasets.
Familiarity with edge ML deployment (TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, etc.).
Strong data storytelling skills and ability to communicate complex results with intuitive visuals.

What We Offer

Opportunity to pioneer next-generation environmental sensing systems.
Work in a cross-disciplinary team combining embedded systems, cloud architecture, and applied ML.
