The Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) is a National Research Infrastructure jointly founded by EPFL and ETH Zurich, and it is part of the ETH Domain. Our mandate is to support academic labs, hospitals, industry, and public sector stakeholders, including cantonal and federal administrations, throughout their entire data science journey—from data collection and management to machine learning, AI, and industrialization.
With a large multidisciplinary team of professionals based in Lausanne, Zurich, and Villigen, the SDSC offers expertise and services across various domains, including health and biomedical sciences, energy and sustainability, climate and environment, and large-scale scientific infrastructures. In particular, our Research team aims to accelerate the adoption of data science and machine learning methods within these diverse disciplines.
We focus extensively on the application of machine learning in architecture and engineering. We have developed an open-source Python library known as AIXD (https://aixd.ethz.ch/docs/stable/) for ML-assisted forward and inverse design. In collaboration with Accelleron Industries, we are exploring these methodologies to tackle specialized industrial challenges, aiming to accelerate the early design of high-end components. Our current investigation involves applying inverse design methods in mechanical engineering for the ML-based discovery of innovative turbomachinery components. This research necessitates the implementation of tailored ML models and the development of exploration and visualization tools to enhance understanding of the results achieved.
To support the development of these methods, we are offering a one-year ML Engineer position. The successful candidate will work closely with senior scientists involved in the project to implement and evaluate innovative methods tailored for turbomachinery component design. Collaboration with design engineers at Accelleron will be essential to ensure the implementation of effective models and approaches in this complex domain. Moreover, the successful candidate will be responsible for proposing and developing additional tools that facilitate efficient and intuitive utilization of the developed methods and models.
This is a 12-month ML Engineer position at 80% in our SDSC Zurich office, located conveniently in Oerlikon. You will be part of a stimulating, collaborative, and cross-disciplinary environment within a world-class research institution, joining a diverse team of 40 data scientists from over 15 different countries. Together, we are dedicated to applying and developing novel ML methods to solve real-world problems. We value work-life balance and encourage experimentation and creativity by promoting the learning of new technologies and approaches on the job.
If you are interested in creating tools that will promote and universalize the usage of modern ML methodologies, we invite you to join our team! Apply online using the form below.
Only applications matching the job profile will be considered. For questions regarding the position, please reach out to hr@datascience.ch (please note that applications sent to this email will not be considered).
