About Altrove

Founded by a successful repeat entrepreneur and a top technical CTO (PhD Materials Science from Cambridge University), we're a rapidly growing startup, supported by top investors and partners. We're tackling the biggest materials challenges of the century, creating better alternatives to the most critical materials. At altrove, we are bridging the gap between crystal structure prediction and inorganic material synthesis by using our deep AI expertise and high-throughput laboratory.

Role and responsibility

We're looking for a highly skilled materials expert with ML/AI experience to help identify top materials candidates through high-throughput approaches. These materials will be tested in our high-throughput materials laboratory. Altrove is a lean, highly productive team. You’ll be working closely with the entire technical team and the founders. You will need to take responsibility for decision and execution on:

• High-throughput inorganic materials screening – Identify key novel materials from Altrove’s databases for industrially relevant inorganic use cases.

• Materials screening pipeline design – Rapidly develop materials screening pipelines, allowing expansion into novel materials classes.

• Lab-compute feedback – Bringing feedback from Altrove’s high throughput lab back into the materials screening pipe.

• Model Finetuning – Fine-tune pretrained ML/AI forcefields for the prediction of relevant material properties.

• Interaction with Commercial Customers – Take part in commercial partnerships and projects, interact with customers and ensure delivery to tight deadlines.

Experience & Qualifications

• Degree in materials science, inorganic chemistry, or materials physics
• Significant experience (PhD or years in industry) with ML/AI applied to materials science problems
• Ability to fine-tune and infer AI models
• Knowledge of graph neural networks and transformer architectures a plus
• Ability to take responsibility and be autonomous
• Get-s*it-done attitude
• Fluent English

You will work on solving a generational problem along with a world-class team. You will have the possibility to own shares in the company and will work in a fast-paced, fascinating environment.
