Machine Learning Engineer

About the company

Root Access is a frontier electronics company. We are a NYC-based startup funded by top investors. Our team is a passionate mix of engineers across electrical, firmware, software, and machine learning.

Core Responsibilities

• Architect Physics Foundation Models: Design and train deep learning models.

• Build the ECAD Data Pipeline: Develop high-performance asset pipelines to convert geometric, discrete, and multi-layer PCB files (ODB++, IPC-2581, STEP, Gerber) into continuous space data.

• Multi-Modal Architecture Integration: Collaborate on connecting upstream Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) or LLMs mapping schematic topologies to downstream spatial physics engines.

• Optimize for Real-Time Execution: Optimize training and inference pipelines on GPU clusters.

Required Technical Skills & Qualifications

• Education: Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Mathematics, EE, Physics, or a related quantitative field with a focus on Scientific Machine Learning (SciML).

• Deep Learning Frameworks: 4+ years of expert-level experience with PyTorch or JAX.

• SciML Expertise: Direct, hands-on experience building and training PINNs, FNOs, etc.

• Mathematical Depth: Exceptional understanding of partial differential equations (PDEs), vector calculus, automatic differentiation (autograd), and numerical optimization algorithms (Adam, L-BFGS).

• Data Pipelines: Strong proficiency in manipulating spatial or geometric datasets using Python libraries (NumPy, SciPy, Shapely, Open3D, or custom voxelization matrices).
