Do you want to help change the way people understand, design for and solve the most challenging real-world design problems in their fields using a combination of Computational Science and Artificial Intelligence? Augmenta is seeking exceptional talent to help us perform research and development on complex multi-industry workflow and design automation challenges. What you get You will get in at the earliest stage, to help design and develop the fundamental architecture for the world’s first creative/generative AI platform. Your work will have a profound impact on complex industry challenges, and the software you write will result in new designs you will see applied in the real world. You will be a part of an exceptional, cross-disciplinary founding team who spearheaded development and adoption of Generative Design technologies, and have delivered cutting-edge work for organizations like NASA, General Motors, Autodesk, Facebook, Royal Bank of Canada and ALDO. You will continually be in contact with and learning from cutting edge researchers and domain experts across industries. What you will do Research, design and implement robust, scalable, high-performance computer algorithms Investigate state-of-the-art computational methods by reading relevant academic papers and attending appropriate workshops/conferences Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team including designers, hardware and software engineers in multiple locations Mentor junior staff and interns to reach their best potential Required Qualifications M.Sc./Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or related disciplines Fluent in C++ and Python Expert knowledge of API design, component architectures, principles of service-oriented software Excellent knowledge of linear algebra and calculus Extensive experience of using automated testing and continuous integration frameworks Extensive exposure to software product development and delivery practices and related tools Research, design and performance optimization of complex algorithms Parallel computing methods and frameworks Familiarity with fundamental Modeling & Simulation principles and methods Preferred Qualifications Mathematical optimization methods, gradient estimation, Bayesian Optimization Mathematical modeling methods for complex regression tasks, Deep Learning Computational geometry algorithms and methods Interactive 3D graphics and data visualization Numerical methods for solving partial differential equations problems Distributed computing GPU acceleration of numerical algorithms using CUDA/OpenCL Amazon Web Services APIs Lightweight virtualization technologies (Docker, etc.) About us Augmenta is an early stage startup founded by industry veterans and pioneers of novel design methods and technologies, building design automation tools that empower designers, engineers and planners to solve the most complex problems in their fields. Starting with people’s goals & inspiration our systems use AI and computational techniques to explore thousands of possible designs - developing solutions that far outperform what anyone could create on their own. We're changing the way we fundamentally understand and solve problems with AI as our design partner. Our goal is to create a world where the extremely difficult problems that face humankind are regularly solved through a completely new holistic way of thinking about and seeing the world, and a strong combination of artificial intelligence, simulation, strategy, empathy and human centered design. Our vision is to be the place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, to stay and do their best work. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, identity, orientation, age or disability.
