Technical Program Manager AI/ML - cuspai

CuspAI is the frontier AI company on a mission to solve the breakthrough materials needed to power human progress. While nature took billions of years to perfect molecules, we are harnessing AI to unlock trillion-dollar materials breakthroughs in months, not millennia. Our founding team is the most cited in the world, comprised of world-class researchers in AI, chemistry and engineering.

We are working on some of the hardest and most important challenges including energy, clean water, the future of compute, and carbon capture, and this is just the start of what our 'search engine' for next-generation materials will unlock.

We invite you to be part of a diverse, innovative team at the intersection of AI and materials science, working to create impactful partnerships that drive innovation, scalability, and industry collaboration. This work matters. Your work matters.

We’re on the cusp of the on-demand materials era. Join us.

THE ROLE

Due to rapid growth, we are seeking a Technical Program Manager with an AI/ML background to join our team. You will be a key driver of technical cohesion, bridging the gap between our high-level AI research and the physical implementation of next-generation materials.

YOUR IMPACT

In this role you will be building and executing the program management framework that accelerates AI/ML research and physical lab integration, which is critical for translating scientific objectives into real-world, scalable materials breakthroughs.

As a member of our growing team of TPMs, you will work closely with our technical teams on internal initiatives while managing high-stakes customer projects. Your main focus initially will be coordinating complex technical campaigns across our teams and academic partners. Over time you will likely get involved in establishing more sophisticated, scalable processes for model development lifecycles and managing the integration of high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Program Leadership & Research Integration

• Lead internal technical programs across AI/ML model development, data workflows, and machine learning infrastructure, acting as the connective tissue between AI researchers and materials scientists.
• Translate scientific and business objectives into executable plans, aligning commercial, research and engineering teams.
• Close the loop between experimental results and the AI research cycle, translating lab findings back into the model development process to continuously improve accuracy and accelerate discovery.
• Own planning and delivery of projects; calculating required compute, managing resources & dependencies, mapping out timelines, and managing risks to ensure successful outcomes.
