About the role

$200K-$350K rare vertical AI for science wide band Boston / San Francisco (on-site) · Posted July 16, 2026 Why it's interesting Edison Scientific's Kosmos 'AI scientist' runs hundreds of research tasks in parallel, compressing months of R&D into one run; its forward-deployed AI engineer ($200K-$350K) embeds on-site with a top science org - explicitly 'not remote support or implementation consulting.' After Normal Computing's silicon play, the rarest vertical in the census: FDE for frontier scientific discovery.
The role: AI Engineer - Forward Deployed at Edison Scientific (the AI platform for scientific R&D; Kosmos AI scientist). Embed on-site with a leading science R&D organization, own how Edison's AI agents create value there, map the scientific/operational landscape, and ship solutions end-to-end in fast cycles. Boston/SF, $200K-$350K, 4+ yrs. Verified on Edison Scientific's Greenhouse board.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
