ML Engineer - Generative Design applied to Mechanical Engineering80%, Zurich, fixed-termThe Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) is a National Research Infrastructure jointly founded by EPFL and ETH Zurich and part of the ETH Domain. Its mandate is to support academic labs, hospitals, the industry and public sector stakeholders, including cantonal and federal administrations, through their entire data science journey, from the collection and management of data to machine learning, AI, and industrialization. With a large multidisciplinary team of professionals across three locations (Lausanne, Zurich, Villigen), the SDSC provides expertise and services to various domains, such as health and biomedical sciences, energy and sustainability, climate and environment, and large-scale scientific infrastructures. In particular, in the Research team, we seek to accelerate the adoption of data science and machine learning methods within these diverse disciplines. Project backgroundAt the Swiss Data Science Center we work extensively in the application of machine learning to the fields of architecture and engineering. We have developed an open-source python library called AIXD ( https://aixd.ethz.ch/docs/stable/ ) for ML-assisted forward and inverse design. In the framework of an Innosuisse project with Accelleron Industries, we are currently exploring the application of these methodologies to more specialized industrial problems, as a way to accelerate the early design of high-end components. Specifically, we are investigating the application of inverse design methods to mechanical engineering, for the ML-based discovery of novel turbomachinery components. This involves implementing tailored ML models that exploit the unique characteristics of the problems at hand, as well as novel exploration and visualization tools that further facilitate the understanding of the results achieved. To support the development of these methods, we are offering a one-year ML engineer position. The successful candidate will work hand-in-hand with the Senior scientists involved in the project, to help implement and evaluate new methods tailored for the design of turbomachinery components. This will also require tightly collaborating with the design engineers at Accelleron, in order to successfully implement models and approaches tailored to and are performant in this complex domain field. Furthermore, the successful candidate will have to propose and implement additional tools that allow end-users an efficient and intuitive utilization of the developed methods and models.
