Job Title:
Lead Scientist, Artificial IntelligenceJob Description:
The Role:
The mission of this job is to lead the development and integration of Agentic AI to accelerate product development with the help of Modeling and Simulations. Developed AI tools will disseminate Modeling and simulation capabilities within Entegris and hence provide a strong platform to competitively position Entegris in the market
The Lead AI Engineer will build Agentic AI and ML surrogates that automate simulation workflows , generate synthetic data at scale, deliver instant simulation predictions, and enable inverse design
In this role you will:
Architect workflows for endtoend automation of Modeling & Simulation steps via an agentic AI interface
Create framework for generating large and labeled synthetic datasets produced from automated parametric sweeps and DOE plans. Prepare data for rapid Machine Learning(ML) experimentation
Choose and develop appropriate ML surrogates for Entegris products to deliver instant estimates versus full physics runs
Develop inverse design methods to translate customer specs into optimized design candidates using surrogate models
Demonstrate significant time savings by reducing developed workflow durations from days to minutes for at least one workflow, each validated against experimental data with 90% accuracy
Discuss, propose and present results to engineering and management teams
Traits we believe make a strong candidate:
MS or PhD preferred in Computer science, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science or Applied Physics
Strong working knowledge of Machine Learning techniques relevant to engineering data that include regression based surrogate modeling, Neural networks (e.g., CNNs, GNNs) where applicable to geometry or field data
Demonstrated experience in preparing simulation data for rapid ML experimentation and developing ML surrogate models for instant predictions
Experience in developing or applying inverse design methods
Hands on experience in designing agentic AI systems or complex AIdriven workflows, including multi step goal-oriented task execution, orchestration of multiple specialized components (agents, tools, APIs)
Strong foundation in physicsbased Modeling & Simulation. Expert level use of CFD and FEM simulations specific to computational tools like Ansys, Comsol, Abaqus and or opensource tools like openFoam is required
Strong proficiency in Python /C/C++ for simulation software API’s and handling large simulation outputs
Demonstrated experience in validating AI/ML outputs against experimental or trusted reference data
Any domain knowledge relating to Multiphysics, multiphase and porous flows is an advantage
Strong communication, ability to interact with personnel with different levels of experience and backgrounds
Contribute positively to a teamwork environment
Your success will be measured by:
The candidate will need to interact with people from all levels of experience within Entegris Business units and external research institutes. The candidate not only needs to demonstrate innovation and creativity but also needs to be accountable for project deliverables and commitments. To ensure success and excellence the candidate needs to consistently set high standards for oneself for best-in-class outcomes in all areas of work
