Battery Data Science Intern

Chemix is seeking a highly-motivated data science intern to help develop and expand our internal AI capabilities for battery materials discovery. Our AI platform is the core of Chemix. Though data is first and foremost in any application of AI, it is typically very scarce in materials development. We've designed our entire R&D operation to generate battery materials datasets of unprecedented size and quality. As a data science intern at Chemix, your mission is to help analyze our experimental battery data, develop machine learning models, perform statistical analyses, and ultimately design and implement the pipelines that turn our data into actionable results. You'll make a fundamental contribution to developing the batteries that will power the electrification revolution in transportation and beyond.

As an early employee at a fast-moving startup, we expect you to quickly and creatively solve all kinds of technical problems, including those beyond your core expertise. An ideal candidate is able to learn quickly, is eager to stretch their knowledge of the ML and data software stack, takes pride in the quality of their work, and wants to make a real impact in energy storage technologies for electric transportation.

Responsibilities:

• Perform data analyses and set up data pipelines to uncover trends for a wide variety of applications and types of battery data
• Discover and introduce new ML models, statistical methods, software frameworks, and libraries
• Contribute code to Chemix's internal codebase (Python)
• Interface with our machine learning scientists, data/software engineers, and battery engineers
• Implement best practices for code development and ML-ops, experiment tracking, etc
• Inform the optimization of the R&D process that generates our data

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, or the physical, chemical, or biological sciences or engineering, combined with some work experience in data science for the physical sciences, or PhD in progress
• Experience with in core data science and statistics concepts
• Experience with the python data science stack: pandas, numpy, sklearn, plotly, scipy
• Experience with the fundamentals of data science and software ops: git, testing, CI/CD
• Clear communication and good people skills
