As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will build models and agents to accelerate scientific discovery, collaborating with researchers and developing efficient infrastructure.
About
Edison Scientific builds and commercializes AI agents for science. Scientific discovery moves too slowly, and autonomous AI agents are how we intend to fix that. We're assembling a team of top researchers and engineers across AI and biology to build an AI scientist.
RoleAs a Principal Machine Learning Engineer at Edison Scientific, you play a central role in building the models and agents that accelerate scientific discovery. You will work on both cutting edge research and practical engineering, bridging advanced machine learning concepts with robust, reliable software that real scientists depend on.
This role is on-site at our San Francisco office in the Dogpatch neighborhood. Our office is a converted warehouse with high ceilings, open space, and a team excited about what we’re building.
Responsibilities- Interpret qualitative challenges in building AI agents for science as well-formulated optimizable problems
- Build appropriate environments in which to train and deploy AI agents that solve scientific tasks
- Work with scientists to formulate training data pipelines, and scale them, ensuring observability and reproducibility
- Lead training of large-scale LLM-based systems, including building internal infrastructure to improve the efficiency of experimentation and production training runs
- Build efficient and flexible inference infrastructure, supporting complex sampling algorithms and custom architectures
- Develop and extend our experimentation platform for internal tools and projects.
- Collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of AI researchers, chemists, biologists, fostering an environment of innovation and discovery.
- 8-10+ years of strong track record of work in applied ML research and application of ML methods to solving real-world problems
- Experience working across the ML lifecycle: data pipelines and provenance, model training, model deployment, and validation in production systems.
- Fluency in PyTorch, Jax or equivalent framework.
- Demonstrated experience with experimentation in academic or industry settings.
- Strong programming expertise with the capability to adapt to various technical challenges in the data, ML, and LLM software stack.
- PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or other quantitative field
- Familiarity with leveraging and managing distributed computing resources
- Background architecting complex distributed systems

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
