Kitware is seeking an accomplished and visionary scientist or engineer to spearhead the creation of a new team dedicated to AI-driven scientific discovery. This is a rare opportunity to shape and lead a cutting-edge research group at the intersection of artificial intelligence, high-performance computing (HPC), and large-scale scientific experimentation.

In this role, you will leverage Kitware’s deep expertise in computer vision, AI, HPC, medical imaging, and scientific software development to drive innovative research programs. You will be responsible for securing funding from government agencies and private sector partners to advance AI-enhanced methodologies that accelerate scientific breakthroughs.

Team Formation & Leadership: Build and lead a high-impact, interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers focused on AI-driven scientific discovery.

Research & Development: Design and implement novel AI-based approaches to solve complex scientific challenges, with applications in materials science, energy technologies, large-scale experimental facilities, and HPC-based simulations.

Collaboration & Integration: Collaborate with Kitware’s existing experts in C++, Python, CMake, VTK, ParaView, and Trame to develop state-of-the-art computational modeling, data analysis, and visualization workflows.

Funding & Partnerships: Secure research funding through grant proposals and industry partnerships, driving the team’s growth and expanding Kitware’s impact in AI-enabled scientific discovery.

Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., computer science, physics, engineering, applied mathematics) with a strong track record of AI-driven scientific research.

Proven ability to obtain research funding and manage large-scale, grant-funded projects.

Experience leading or collaborating with interdisciplinary teams.

Familiarity with HPC environments and large-scale simulations.

Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to build partnerships across academia, government, and industry.

Due to contractual restrictions, only candidates who are U.S. persons (citizens, permanent residents, asylees, or refugees) will be considered for this position.

Innovative Environment: Work with a team of experts committed to open science and cutting-edge technological advancement.

Impactful Research: Lead projects with the potential to transform scientific discovery through AI-driven methods.

Collaborative Culture: Partner with industry-leading scientists and engineers in a flexible and collaborative work environment.
