Location London, UK Employment Type Full time Location Type Hybrid Department Software & AI Orbital's hardware solutions solve the biggest challenges in data centers. Each of our products contains an advanced material discovered with our AI, giving it breakthrough real world performance. We're looking for ambitious thinkers and builders; those excited by the challenge of bridging AI and industry, chemistry and computation, discovery and deployment. Our mission is to usher in an era where new, advanced materials are both discovered and engineered with AI and we'll use this to build hardware that solve major global technology challenges. Joining Orbital means working at the intersection of deep tech, applied science, and engineering innovation. We are a truly global organisation with sites in London (UK), San Francisco (CA), Princeton (NJ) & Calgary (Canada) building teams in ML Research and Product Development to Mechanical and Chemical Engineering, offering opportunities for talented individuals who want to shape the future of materials and their applications in high impact industries. Orbital is the category defining AI industrial hardware company. Our goal is to use AI to catalise a renaissance in critical industries, starting with compute and energy. We're doing this by building AI systems that design new industrial hardware from "the atoms up" - everything from new advanced materials, to mechanical, chemical and manufacturing engineering designs. We then make and sell these pieces of hardware to customers. Our first products are for the data centre industry - solving the most critical challenges in thermal management and sustainability. In AI circles we're best known for building the world's best foundation model for materials - Orb. About The Program The AI Residency program is a 2 year program targeting people with exceptional technical backgrounds but no professional or PhD experience in AI. This program is suitable for recent graduates in technical disciplines. As part of this program you will work on high impact AI projects at Orbital. Some example projects might be: Scaling up the distributed training of large scale generative models of crystal structures Internal LLM evals for scientific and engineering reasoning RL fine tuning for advanced materials discovery This is a unique opportunity because: Orbital is a world leading research lab in AI for materials. You will work at the cutting edge of research in LLMs and AI more broadly applied to sciences. Orbital is committed to open science. We publish and release the details of our work. This gives people who work for us an ability to build a profile in machine learning. Orbital is committed to open source. You will get an opportunity to have concrete demonstrations of the excellence of your software engineering and other work. Orbital is building technologies that have a physical, positive impact on the world. We build physical technologies. You can feel and touch the outcome of your work, and see these products make a difference in the world.
