Data Scientist (Solutions)

About Phaidra Phaidra is shaping the future of industrial automation. Today's world is filled with unchanging, monolithic infrastructure. Factories, power plants, buildings, and so on, operate as they have for decades - because the operating programming is hardcoded. Thousands of lines of regulations and heuristics define how these machines interact with each other. The outcome of all this hardcoding is that facilities are stuck in time, incapable of adapting to their environment while their performance gradually decreases. Phaidra develops AI-driven control systems for the industrial sector, allowing industrial facilities to independently learn and improve over time. Specifically: - We use reinforcement learning algorithms to provide this intelligence, transforming raw sensor details into high-value actions and decisions. - We focus on industrial applications, which tend to be well-equipped with sensors and have measurable KPIs - perfect for reinforcement learning. - We allow domain experts (our users) to customize the AI control systems (i.e., agents) without needing any coding skills. They outline what they wish their AI agents to do, and we do it for them. Our team has a history of applying AI to some of the most difficult problems. From achieving unparalleled performance with DeepMind's AlphaGo, to reducing energy usage at Google's Data Centers by 40%, we know AI intimately and how to implement it in production for massive impact. Phaidra is headquartered in the USA but is 100% remote; we do not have a physical office. We hire employees internationally with the help of our partner, OysterHR. Our team is spread across the USA, Canada, UK, Norway, Italy, Portugal, and India. **Please only apply to one position. If you are a better match for another position, our team will move your application. Candidates who apply for multiple roles will not be considered.**
