Electrical Engineering Pod Lead

An Electrical Engineering Pod Lead responsible for managing a small team creating simulation-based design problems used to train and evaluate advanced AI models.

Day-to-day

• Team Leadership
• Lead and manage a pod of 4–8 Engineering Design Specialists by assigning tasks, reviewing deliverables, removing blockers, and mentoring on problem design, simulation rigor, and documentation.
• Act as the main point of contact with AI research teams to translate model feedback into refinements, while running regular syncs, tracking progress, and reporting updates and risks to program leads.
• Technical Oversight
• Oversee and approve pod outputs, maintain reproducible Docker-based simulation environments, support cloud infrastructure for simulation/grading,
• Develop and review Python automation/validation, and proactively resolve dependency, versioning, and reproducibility issues.
• Problem Design (Individual Contribution)

You bring

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
