Your Role
Irreversible is looking for a Machine Learning Scientist to join our team. In this role you will work with other scientists to solve problems related to computer vision, signal processing, and audio processing, designing, adapting, and testing deep learning models to contribute to research and development in cutting edge low-energy consumption AI processors.
What You'll Do
Collaborate with peers who have diverse backgrounds in physics, computer science, mathematics, and engineering
Develop and optimize application-specific deep neural network architectures and measure their performance
Draw on your in-depth experience developing machine learning methods
Research state-of-the-art methods for a given task, implement and improve upon these techniques to provide application specific solutions
Contribute to crafting reports, drafting patents, authoring publications, and attending conferences
Collaborate with electronics engineers to develop low-energy consumption AI processors
What You'll Bring
A minimum of a Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or another technical discipline (candidates with a PhD in similar disciplines are preferred)
3+ years of experience solving real-world data-centric problems with machine learning
2+ years of applied experience with deep learning
3+ years of experience using Python
Experience designing deep learning architectures from scratch, beyond implementing “plug-and-play” solutions
Extensive experience of machine learning, scientific computing, and data analysis Python packages (e.g., PyTorch, Numpy, Jax)
A strong track record in scientific research with experience writing scientific articles or technical documents
Outstanding communication, organization, and leadership skills
Experience with time-series forecasting, signal processing, or stochastic differential equations is a plus
Experience with downsizing and/or minimizing ML models or working with sparse models is a plus
Experience with inference on the edge, TinyML, FPGA, or microcontrollers is a plus
Experience managing large-scale, collaborative development projects (e.g., multi-contributor workflows on GitHub) is a plus
