Job Description
At Thermo Fisher Scientific, our mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer. Join a newly forming Materials Science R&D AI team bringing harmonized, scalable AI capabilities into scientific products used around the world.
As an Artificial Intelligence Engineer, you will turn AI strategy into working solutions. This hands-on role combines advanced AI development, scientific customer use cases and close collaboration with global product teams. You will help create intelligent experiences for both human users and digital agents, differentiating our instruments and software through meaningful innovation.
What will you do?
- Design, develop, and deliver AI capabilities that translate our Materials Science R&D AI strategy into working product solutions.
- Work in product development teams and with Applications Development to understand scientific workflows, customer challenges and high-value AI use cases.
- Turn use cases into prototypes, technical architectures, reusable components and production-ready solutions.
- Build and evaluate generative AI and agentic workflows that connect users and digital agents with scientific instruments, software and data.
- Collaborate with product teams across electron microscopy and analytical technologies; join project teams directly when hands-on integration is needed.
- Integrate existing shared and emerging AI platforms and building blocks, identify gaps and provide actionable feedback to platform teams.
- Rapidly test AI models, frameworks and approaches for suitability, performance, reliability and robustness.
- Work with software and systems engineers to integrate AI into dependable product architectures; document interfaces, design decisions and lessons learned.
- Share technical expertise across R&D and contribute implementation insights to the evolving AI roadmap.
What makes you a great fit?
- Practical experience developing solutions with large language models (LLMs) and generative AI, including evaluation and integration into applications.
- Strong Python programming skills and hands-on experience with PyTorch for building or adapting AI/ML solutions.
- Knowledge of reinforcement learning and the ability to assess where it can add value to real-world technical problems.
- Experience developing software in Agile teams, rapidly prototyping ideas and progressing concepts toward reliable implementations.
- Ability to assess AI models, frameworks and architectures, weigh trade-offs and select approaches appropriate to scientific product requirements.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with application scientists, software engineers and global product teams.
- Curiosity about scientific workflows and the ability to translate customer needs into practical, testable and reusable AI capabilities.
Why join us?
- Work on AI capabilities that support real scientific discovery, rather than isolated demonstrations.
- Explore cutting-edge agentic AI while solving complex challenges at the intersection of software, scientific workflows and instruments.
- Collaborate internationally with AI specialists, application scientists and product engineering teams.
- Influence reusable AI approaches across multiple product lines and see your ideas move from prototype to product.
- Grow your expertise within a global R&D organization driven by innovation and meaningful customer impact.
