Machine Learning Engineer

About The Team
The Product Development Team at Gotion Inc., New Energy Inc. focuses on the design and development of advanced battery products for next-generation energy storage system (ESS) and electric vehicle (EV) applications. We lead the full product development cycle, integrating mechanical, electrical, thermal, and control system to create high-performance battery solutions, along with comprehensive system integration, validation, and certification activities.

Role Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Machine Learning Engineer with a strong background in model architecture design and algorithm development, ideally with experience in scientific domains such as battery technology, energy systems, or related physical sciences. This is a fully on-site role based in Fremont, CA focused on building innovative ML models from the ground up.

You will collaborate closely with cross-disciplinary R&D teams to develop and deploy machine learning solutions that address real-world challenges in advanced materials, electrochemical systems, and high-throughput data environments.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Design and implement novel machine learning and deep learning models tailored to internal research needs
• Prototype and evaluate state-of-the-art algorithms, including Transformers, LLMs, and hybrid model architectures
• Conduct rigorous experimentation, benchmarking, and ablation studies
• Collaborate with battery scientists and domain experts to incorporate physical constraints or scientific priors into modeling
• Contribute to internal documentation and present research outcomes to technical and leadership teams
• Track and integrate advances from the ML research community to ensure technical excellence

Required Qualifications:

• Ph.D. (preferred) or M.S. in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a closely related field
• Demonstrated expertise in model development, optimization, and algorithmic innovation
• Proficiency in Python and ML libraries/frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.
• Solid understanding of learning theory concepts such as regularization, generalization, loss functions, and evaluation metrics
• Experience working with scientific or time-series datasets, especially in battery, materials, or energy domains, is highly desirable
• A publication record in top-tier ML conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR) is a strong plus
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills in interdisciplinary environments
