As a data scientist at Chemix, your mission is to help develop machine learning models, perform statistical analyses, and ultimately design and implement the pipelines that turn our data into actionable results. You'll make a fundamental contribution to developing the batteries that will power the electrification revolution in transportation and beyond.

As an early employee at a fast-moving startup, we expect you to quickly and creatively solve all kinds of technical problems, including those beyond your core expertise. An ideal candidate is able to learn quickly, is eager to stretch their knowledge of the ML and data software stack, takes pride in the quality of their work, and wants to make a real impact in energy storage technologies for electric transportation.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop machine learning and data pipelines for a wide variety of applications and types of battery data
  • Discover and introduce new ML models, statistical methods, software frameworks, and libraries

  • Experience with various modern neural network architectures such as transformers, GCNN, etc
  • Experience with physics-based modeling of batteries (e.g. DFN model) and/or chemistry (DFT, MD, QC, etc)
  • Experience with cloud web services (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, etc.), Docker, Kubernetes
  • Familiarity with experimental chemistry/materials science

Benefits

  • Stock Option Plan
  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
