You will be a key driver of technical cohesion, bridging the gap between our high-level AI research and the physical implementation of next-generation materials. Your Impact In this role you will be building and executing the program management framework that accelerates AI/ML research and physical lab integration, which is critical for translating scientific objectives into real-world, scalable materials breakthroughs. As a member of our growing team of TPMs, you will work closely with our technical teams on internal initiatives while managing high-stakes customer projects. Your main focus initially will be coordinating complex technical campaigns across our teams and academic partners. Over time you will likely get involved in establishing more sophisticated, scalable processes for model development lifecycles and managing the integration of high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. What You Will Do Program Leadership & Research Integration * Lead internal technical programs across AI/ML model development, data workflows, and machine learning infrastructure, acting as the connective tissue between AI researchers and materials scientists. * Translate scientific and business objectives into executable plans, aligning commercial, research and engineering teams. * Close the loop between experimental results and the AI research cycle, translating lab findings back into the model development process to continuously improve accuracy and accelerate discovery. * Own planning and delivery of projects; calculating required compute, managing resources & dependencies, mapping out timelines, and managing risks to ensure successful outcomes. Partner & Customer Collaboration * Lead technical programs with industry partners and research institutions, serving as a primary program contact for our external partners during the execution and delivery of projects. * Facilitate technical discussions between internal teams and external stakeholders. * Drive project scoping and proposal writing in collaboration with the Partnerships and technical teams. * Manage joint development initiatives and coordinate customer pilot programs from conception through to deployment. Process & Operations * Work closely with the rest of the global TPM team to refine scalable processes. * Implement metrics for tracking technical milestones and program outcomes. * Coordinate compliance and regulatory considerations across programs. * Support intellectual property (IP) and scientific publication processes. * Foster interdisciplinary team culture and own change management to successfully scale the organisation. * Use data to drive continuous improvements to internal and customer facing processes. ## Related Videos - [Architecting the Future: Leveraging AI, Cloud, and Data for Business Success](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1096-architecting-the-future-leveraging-ai-cloud-and-data-for-business-success) - [Green Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/592-green-cloud-computing) - [It's all about the Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/425-it-s-all-about-the-data) - [Introduction to Azure Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/368-introduction-to-azure-machine-learning) - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development)
