Staff Engineer - Machine Learning

The Eplane Company is hiring a Staff Engineer - Machine Learning in Chennai, India. The details below summarise the employer's own listing; applications happen on the original posting, not on GetFirstJob.

What the work involves

• You will join our team to transform mathematical models, aerospace physics simulations, and Reinforcement Learning algorithms into high-throughput, low-latency, production-grade GPU-accelerated software engines
• This role will lay the the architectural and algorithmic foundation for our internal engineering design optimisation and operations suite
• Design the optimisation and representation architecture of our platform across both internal engineering tools and aircraft operations software
• Build and validate coupled ML models and systems across complex multi-physics systems, planning and optimisation systems
• Develop the algorithmic tooling to evaluate trade-offs between aircraft parameters parameters (e.g., rotor configuration, battery size) and fleet-level metrics (e.g., vertiport throughput, community noise impact)
• Architect the C++ and Python APIs that connect the underlying physics solvers to user-facing engineering design tools and macro-level network simulators
• Own verification and validation, and tell the Engineering teams on where a model can and cant be trusted

What they are looking for

• We are looking for a candidate who can build models and tooling leveraging optimisation, multi-physics models, and machine learning to be used across our engineering, operations, and commercial teams
• Expertise in advanced autonomous systems where optimization, Machine Learning, and software architecture meet
• Understanding of mathematics, particularly linear algebra, optimisation, Machine Learning, probability theory, differential geometry
• Deep understanding of mathematical optimization across gradient based optimisation to non-gradient based optimization
• Strong practical experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX) and applying ML to physical or simulated environments
• Understanding of Markov Decision Processes and methods to solve POMDPs
• Exceptional proficiency in modern C++ and Python
• You know how to build maintainable, high-performance software systems
