What We Need: The SES AI

Prometheus team

is seeking an exceptional

Data & Evaluation Applied AI Scientist

to serve as the domain expert ensuring that SES AI’s complex battery‑domain knowledge is correctly represented and validated within advanced AI systems, including LLM pipelines and multi‑agent workflows. This role is vital for bridging the gap between raw battery materials knowledge and structured, AI‑trainable data. As the Data & Model Quality Manager, you will focus on the integrity, structure, and fidelity of the knowledge embedded within our AI systems.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Data Curation & Validation

Translate deep battery materials knowledge and next‑generation battery concepts into correctly structured, high‑quality, AI‑trainable data.

Lead processes for rigorous data validation, cleaning, and annotation to ensure consistency and correctness across all datasets.

Oversee the creation and management of benchmark datasets and design domain‑specific multimodal evaluations to test model accuracy.

AI System Quality & Correctness

Partner closely with AI architecture and engineering teams to ensure the correctness, reliability, and scientific reasoning quality of models, including LLM creation and multi‑agent orchestration.

Implement techniques, including those inspired by reinforcement learning (RLHF), to tune and validate model behavior against established scientific principles.

Ensure that resulting models accurately understand molecular chemistry, materials data, and complex scientific reasoning in the battery domain.

Drive the application of Battery Informatics principles across all data pipelines and modeling efforts.

Education and/or Experience:

Education:

Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering with a focus on Lithium battery systems, Materials Science, or a closely related computational/domain field.

Domain Expertise:

Deep expertise in battery materials, particularly knowledge required to convert complex, real‑world data into AI‑trainable formats.

Data Quality & Validation:

Proven experience in data validation, annotation, and benchmark creation for complex scientific or engineering datasets.

AI Exposure:

Experience working with advanced AI systems, including familiarity with LLM pipelines and the principles of multi‑agent orchestration.

Applicable Background:

Experience in roles such as Applied Scientist in Molecular/Materials AI or similar specialist roles focused on AI system quality in a scientific domain.

Preferred Qualifications:

Advanced AI Techniques:

Experience with specialized techniques used for model tuning and alignment, such as Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF).

Industry Precedent:

Previous experience in specialized environments like battery focus labs, materials data science groups, or AI4Science teams with a focus on agent pipeline building and model tuning (e.g., drawing from precedents like DeepMind or Fair Labs).

Evaluation Design:

Direct experience designing and executing domain‑specific multimodal evaluations for complex AI models.

Computational Focus:

Experience as a Computational battery AI specialist.
