About the Role

Research Scientist - Machine Learning

Overview

Extropic’s hardware massively accelerates certain kinds of probabilistic inference.  Our ML team works on the science of training models in the thermodynamic paradigm, and we are looking for senior research and engineering talent to derive probabilistic ML theory, empirically demonstrate its scaling properties, and deploy performant models. Senior hires will be leading their own research direction and are therefore expected to quickly become experts across our abstraction stack, including the hardware, software, physics, and math.

About the Company

Extropic is pioneering a new era in computing by developing thermodynamic computing hardware that is significantly more energy efficient than traditional GPUs. Their core innovation, the thermodynamic sampling unit (TSU), is inherently probabilistic and designed to excel at probabilistic AI workloads, making it a perfect fit for the next generation of artificial intelligence applications. Extropic’s hardware, such as the XTR-0 platform, enables ultra-efficient AI algorithms by facilitating low-latency communication between their chips and conventional processors. Complementing their hardware, Extropic also offers THRML, an open-source Python library that allows developers to create and simulate thermodynamic algorithms, further bridging the gap between probabilistic software and hardware.

Working at Extropic offers the unique opportunity to be at the forefront of a technological revolution that could reshape the landscape of AI and data centers. The company is actively hiring engineers and scientists who are passionate about pushing the boundaries of what is possible in computing. Employees can expect to work on cutting-edge projects with real-world impact, collaborate with leading minds in the field, and contribute to open-source initiatives. Extropic’s mission-driven culture and focus on sustainability and efficiency make it an exciting place for those who want to make a meaningful difference in the future of technology.
