We are looking for a motivated and skilled machine learning engineer to join our dynamic Brain & AI team. This role focuses on developing AI models that enhance our understanding of neural mechanisms building encoding and decoding models and apply this knowledge to real-world applications such as brain computer interfaces. You will be instrumental in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in AI and neuroscience, helping to solve some of the most complex and fascinating challenges in the field today.

Responsibilities

• Develop and evaluate scalable deep learning algorithms that are central to our brain decoding initiatives.

• Collaborate closely with data scientists to pioneer research in generative modeling and representation learning.

• Identify bottlenecks in data processing pipelines and devise effective solutions, improving performance and reliability.

• Maintain high standards of code quality, organization, and automatization across all projects.

• Adapt machine learning and neural network algorithms to optimize performance in various computing environments, including distributed clusters and GPUs.

• Write and revise papers, participate in conferences, communicate and disseminate results.

Basic Qualifications:

• Degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Informatics, Physics, Math, Neuroscience or another quantitative field.

• 3+ years of experience of working in industry or research.

• Strong programming skills in Python, with experience in developing machine learning algorithms or infrastructure using Python and PyTorch.

• Experience in deep learning techniques such as supervised, semi-supervised, self-supervised learning, and/or generative modeling.

• Strong scientific background and ability to formulate and test novel hypotheses with proper experiments, draw conclusions and support claims.

• Proficient in managing unstructured datasets with strong analytical skills.

• Demonstrated project management and organizational skills.

• Proven ability to support and collaborate with cross-functional teams in a dynamic environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• PhD and research experience in Computer Science, Statistics, Informatics, Physics, Math, Neuroscience or another quantitative field.

• Scientific publications in top-tier AI and neuroscience conferences (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, AAAI, CVPR, Cosyne, SFN, CNN ecc) or peer reviewed journals

• Familiarity with deep learning libraries such as Pytorch, Huggingface, Transformers, Accelerator and Diffuser.

• Hands-on experience in training and fine-tuning generative models like diffusion models or large language models such as GPTs and LLAMAs.

• Experience with data and model visualization tools.

• Experience with non-invasive neural data (fMRI, EEG, MEG) or invasive neural recordings (ECoG, MEA, ecc).
