Your Impact at LILA Own the technical direction for agentic AI systems applied to materials science at Lila. You will set and execute the roadmap for autonomous agents that plan, run, and interpret materials experiments, based on understanding of internal knowledge and state-of-the-art research work in public literature. Your work shifts materials research from human-paced iteration to machine-paced experimentation through scientific reasoning and understanding. This is a player-coach role on the PS AI team. You will lead a small group of scientists and engineers, set the bar for scientific rigor and engineering quality, and partner with diverse teams so that agentic systems land on real programs. You will own the trade-offs between research ambition and production reliability, and represent the agentic-AI direction to technical leadership. The work spans foundational research and applied delivery. You will publish where the science merits it, ship systems that materials teams depend on, and shape how Lila scales agentic capabilities across its materials portfolio. What You'll Be Building Roadmap and direction. Define and execute the agentic AI roadmap for materials science, including agentic frameworks and retrieval-augmented generation for understanding multi-modal research data from research literature and other data sources. Agent system architecture. Lead the design of agentic frameworks grounded in fundamental scientific understanding and the state of the art, and deliver end-to-end systems on real-world projects. Team leadership. Hire, mentor, and grow a small cross-functional team of scientists and engineers; set the bar for scientific rigor, code quality, and reproducibility. & …truncated… ence™ to solve humankind's greatest challenges. We believe science is the most inspiring frontier for AI. Rather than hard-coding expert knowledge into tools, LILA builds systems that can learn for themselves. LILA combines advanced AI models with proprietary AI Science F…
