Application Scientist (AI Materials Science), Singapore

Qualifications: Extensive, hands-on experimental lab experience in a relevant field such as Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or Experimental Chemistry . Exposure to AI/ML - ideally building or training models, but it's also fine if you have used them in any capacity. Demonstrable automation mindset and experience optimizing or building interfaces for laboratory workflows and processes. Solid scripting skills (Python) - you will need to handle data extraction, automate data translation between disparate laboratory and informatics systems, and to configure APIs for communication between laboratory and CuspAI’s systems. Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively to both deeply scientific/technical audiences (AI researchers) and hands-on experimental teams (Chemists). Proven ability to design and steer experimental campaigns based on defined objectives and data feedback. A personal passion for the mission of CuspAI, particularly the potential of AI to unlock breakthroughs in materials science for sustainability, clean energy, or carbon capture.

Bonus Points (But Not Critical): Experience with high-throughput experiments (HTE), robotics, and commercial laboratory automation systems. Professional-level coding skills, e.g. Python, Go. Experience working with machine learning models or AI platforms, including an understanding of how data inputs affect model outputs and performance. Knowledge of specific materials properties, crystallography, or computational chemistry concepts (e.g. DFT, MD simulations). Proven ability to develop and deliver effective technical training sessions, presentations, and documentation to external partners. Prior experience in a start-up or fast-growth technology company. Additional Considerations This role will be based in Singapore , with the expectation of being in the office at least three days per week.
