ML Scientist - Materials Performance Modeling

Lila Sciences builds a scientific superintelligence platform and autonomous lab to accelerate discoveries in life, chemistry, and materials. The company seeks an ML Scientist specializing in materials performance modeling to develop robust, physics-aware and data-efficient ML methods for predicting real-world materials behavior from sparse, noisy, and multi-modal experimental and simulation data.

Skills

  • Strong Python proficiency and software engineering best practices.
  • Experience with modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
  • Proven work on time-dependent / sequential data and few-shot or data-efficient learning.
  • Familiarity with experimental and/or computational materials datasets and performance characterization.
  • Experience integrating physics-informed or hybrid physics/ML approaches into models.
  • Ability to communicate results and collaborate across ML and materials science teams.

Responsibilities

  • Develop predictive ML models for materials performance and reliability under varied application conditions (stress, temperature, chemical exposure, aging).
  • Design and implement data-efficient learning strategies for sparse, small, or incomplete experimental datasets.
  • Incorporate physics-informed priors, probabilistic modeling, time-series approaches, and multimodal methods into modeling frameworks.
  • Collaborate with materials scientists to curate, preprocess, and interpret experimental and simulation datasets.
  • Build scalable ML workflows and pipelines for integration and deployment in Lila’s autonomous platforms.
  • Validate and benchmark models against experimental results, and iterate with domain scientists to refine modeling assumptions.

Education

  • PhD preferred in Materials Science, Applied Physics, Machine Learning, Computer Science, or related field (equivalent industry experience considered).
  • Strong background in quantitative modeling and statistical methods.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity participation (stock options)
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) or retirement plan access (where applicable)
  • Flexible PTO and paid time off policies
  • Professional development and conference support
  • Collaborative, interdisciplinary team and access to autonomous lab infrastructure
