AAOS — Data Science Engineer
Where chemistry meets code
Most ML-for-materials systems are built by engineers without chemistry intuition; most battery scientists never operate production ML pipelines. The combination — a senior chemist with R&D 100 winning flow-battery work and three years of insurance-grade ML at scale — is rare, and is the foundation for industrial-scale energy-storage AI going forward.
