We are building a new class of multimodal foundation models for the physical world. Our focus is on combining time series / sensor data, language, vision, audio, and other real-world signals into unified models that can understand complex systems, reason over long horizons, and support real-world tasks in industrial and physical environments.
We are looking for an experienced, researcher-oriented ML candidate to help build these systems end to end: from problem formulation and experimental design, to model development, evaluation, and deployment.
This role is intended for someone who is highly self-directed, can independently perform strong scientific work, and is excited to work on multimodal intelligence grounded in physical signals.
What you’ll work on
-
Build and improve multimodal foundation models that incorporate time-series / sensor data alongside language, vision, audio, and related modalities
-
Drive research and modeling efforts from problem definition through experimentation and evaluation
-
Own modeling work across data, modeling, and evaluation
-
Advance model architectures and training strategies for physical-world understanding and long-context reasoning
-
Drive and scale research experiments and modeling advances to production models that power diverse use cases in complex industrial scenarios
-
Contribute to research directions with potential for publication
What we’re looking for
-
Self-directed and comfortable operating in ambiguous problem spaces
-
Able to independently perform strong scientific work, including forming hypotheses, designing experiments, and drawing sound conclusions
-
Experience with end-to-end modeling, including data, modeling, and evaluation
-
Experience with productionization or deployment of ML models
-
Multimodal experience preferred
-
Strong technical judgment and experimental rigor
Why this role is interesting
-
Many important real-world systems cannot be understood from text or vision alone. Their behavior depends on signals that evolve over time: sensors, operating conditions, environment, and interactions across subsystems. We believe the next generation of useful foundation models will need to integrate these sources of information and reason over them in a unified way.
-
You will have a unique opportunity to help shape a new generation of multimodal foundation models grounded in physical signals and real-world dynamics. The role offers a rare combination of deep research challenges, practical deployment impact, and the chance to contribute to a fast-emerging area of AI.
We are partnering with Archetype AI on a specialist search for a staff engineer. The role is based in Kusadasi, Ontario, Canada and offered as remote full-time work. Compensation is Competitive.
