Orbital is an AI-first industrial company building hardware from the atoms up. Our goal is to lead an industrial renaissance to
advance critical technologies and secure our planet for generations to come.
We’re starting with critical hardware for AI data centers to make them more performant and sustainable. Every Orbital product is
invented with our AI platform — uniting AI-automated hardware engineering with AI-designed material science to achieve
breakthrough real-world performance.
We have an ambitious mission and need excellent people in all our teams - AI research, operations, advanced materials, mechanical
engineering, chemical engineering and manufacturing.
Working at Orbital means working in tightly integrated, vertically integrated teams. We’re looking for people who have a love of
physical technology, curiosity in AI and a desire to learn.
As a Machine Learning Engineer at Orbital, you will architect cutting-edge AI systems for the multi-scale design of physical
technologies. When we say multi-scale, we mean it: we build world-class foundation models for simulating both the microscopic
motion of atoms and the macroscopic flow of liquids in 1GW data centers. We then co-design across these different scales using the
ingenuity of our scientists and engineers, augmented with best-in-class domain agents.
In this role you will set exceptionally high technical standards and drive projects from prototype through to production
deployment. First and foremost, we want to work with someone with a love of craftsmanship, continual learning, and building
systems that scale. We also value low ego, and a genuine passion for using AI to solve major global industrial technology
challenges.
