Blue Origin is looking to develop innovative AI models for their Rocket Factory to improve manufacturing processes of space crafts, making them more efficient, reducing latency, and increasing velocity of launches.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience coding - Python and AI frameworks (TensorFlow/ PyTorch)
- Background in Deep Learning - vision-language models (VLMs), transformers, training LoRA adapters, model distillation, and fine-tuning
- Strong mathematical foundations - linear algebra, calculus, statistics
- Ability to curate large-scale multimodal datasets - data preprocessing and generation of datasets (synthetic and human-labeled)
- Experience with ML libraries and tools – pandas, torchvision, NLTK, spaCy, diffusers, vllm, transformers, DSPy, Ray, LangGraph, DeepSpeed etc.
- Designing machine learning experiments – understanding and improving model behaviors and proposing solutions for generalization/interpretability
- Familiarity with reinforcement learning principles
Responsibilities
- Design experiments, hypotheses and rigorously benchmark solutions
- Conduct literature review to identify relevant datasets, models and tools to prototype and improve AI systems in production
- Develop techniques for data preprocessing, extraction, and synthetic generation
- Deploy algorithms by creating docker images, spinning up containers, creating endpoints and microservices
- Document and present to stakeholders and mentor team members / interns
Other
- U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum
- Ability to obtain and maintain Merchant Mariner Credential, which includes pre-employment and random drug testing as well as DOT physical
- Drivers who operate Commercial Motor Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or combination of power unit and trailer that meets or exceeds 10,001 lbs. and/or transports placardable amounts of hazardous materials by ground in any vehicle on a public road while in commerce, may be subject to additional Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
- Blue’s Standard Background Check
- Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) background check if at any time the role requires one to be on a military installation
