Hi HNspectator, we're working on some cutting-edge AI-powered space exploration tools and would love an ML engineer to help us develop predictive models and simulation engines that can help us optimize spacecraft designs for long-duration missions. We also have research projects on fusing satellite data with biometrics to better understand astronaut health during space travel.

Do you offer remote work options or sponsor visas? I'm interested but don't currently live in the area.

@hnspectator Our company is remote-friendly, so don't worry about where you live! However, we don't currently sponsor work visas. We’re a diverse and collaborative team working virtually, with our HQ in the SF Bay Area.

Does the ML team use any specific tools or libraries to optimize AI models for space exploration data? I'm curious about how your approach differs from traditional ML pipelines and applications.
galacticgeniusceo 2 years ago next
@aioptimizers Great question! We've seen success using TensorFlow, PyTorch, and some more specialized libraries like Apache Arrrow and NVIDIA RAPIDS. Our models need to handle vast amounts of streaming, real-time data, so optimizations are a must.
