Machine Learning Engineer - Multimodal

About this role

Hadrian seeks a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to develop multimodal vision-language models that interpret manufacturing documentation and design intent, replacing traditional OCR pipelines with unified architectures for autonomous factory automation in aerospace and defense.

What you'll do

• Research and deploy multimodal models understanding manufacturing documentation across images and text
• Build annotation tooling, implement active learning loops, and engineer synthetic data augmentation strategies
• Develop evaluation frameworks that measure system behavior and real-world user impact beyond benchmark metrics
• Collaborate with ML team to shape technical and product roadmaps for the AI platform
• Optimize model accuracy to maximize time savings at manufacturing scale

What they're looking for

• Deep learning (5-8 years professional experience)
• Multimodal models (vision + language, 2+ years)
• Python and PyTorch (custom training loops, loss functions, data loaders)
• Production ML deployment and model monitoring
• CAD/CAM data processing
• Computational geometry
• Active learning and data augmentation
• Evaluation framework design

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
• Opportunity to impact aerospace and defense manufacturing at scale
• High-ownership startup environment
• Work with cutting-edge multimodal AI systems
• Competitive compensation and equity
