Engineering Clerk supporting AltaLink’s electricity transmission projects in Alberta. Providing technical administration, asset data coordination, document control, compliance, procurement, and protection - setting support.
About the role
- Research-focused AI role at FirstPrinciples designing and developing innovative solutions for scientific discovery. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to advance scientific research methodologies.
Responsibilities
- Research, design, and test novel, research‑specific model architectures that integrate academic literature, natural language processing (NLP), symbolic reasoning, and other methods to orchestrate the scientific process.
- Prototype and build custom tokenizers for LaTeX symbols and physical units to be treated as tokens.
- Explore alternatives to transformers through in-depth research and provide practical recommendations for model development.
- Develop reinforcement-learning loops to enable models to run independent and internal thought experiments.
- Design and automate data ingestion pipelines in collaboration with our Data Scientists & Engineers that aggregates science literature, metadata, experimental data, equations and other data sources in a robust and scalable manner.
- Establish custom benchmarks to assess the models’ understanding of physical concepts, mathematical reasoning abilities, and ability to minimize hallucinations for the benefit of scientific reliability.
- Refine and release datasets and baselines once internal tests are stable.
- Run and track model training jobs while leading the technical team through set-up, monitoring progress, and constraining costs within budget.
- Develop approaches to stage “practice runs” in a sandbox environment to develop the model’s abilities to explore ideas independently while logging results for later review.
- Develop a framework to evaluate the models’ learning using visual and statistical tools to spot patterns and blind spots.
- Add guard-rails and tests that flag poor quality model output.
- Maintain internal tools to track lists of known issues, noting failures, clear fixes, and improvements to be integrated into future development.
- Work with the engineering team to ensure product feasibility and robust architecture.
- Translate technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders in clear terms.
- Present findings in clear updates to the technical team in order to keep the broader team appraised of progress against research milestones.
Requirements
- Educational Background: PhD in physics, computer science, data science, information systems, or related field.
- Experience: Proven track record of conducting in-depth research on scientific AI models, symbolic models, machine learning or deep learning for scientific discovery.
- Technical Skills: Familiarity with SOTA models, best practices in model development processes, in-depth AI/ML concepts, and data infrastructure.
- Collaboration & Communication:
- Comfort working closely with engineers and other technical team members.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfortable working in a startup-style, cross-functional, remote team.
- Bonus Skills:
- Has experience with or strong interest in physics and/or fundamental science topics.
- Experience conducting research on AI models in an early-stage or mission-focused environment.
Benefits
- Join us at FirstPrinciples and be a part of a transformative journey where science drives progress and unlocks the potential of humanity.
