Xometry is seeking a Senior Principal in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to lead large-scale, cross-functional ML/AI initiatives with significant business impact. This role involves developing an 18- to 24-month technical roadmap that balances innovation with business value delivery. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with engineering, product, design, manufacturing operations, and business leadership to influence partner roadmaps and resourcing. As a respected subject-matter expert, the individual will proactively remove roadblocks for teams and address challenges beyond their immediate scope.
Key responsibilities include serving as the technical leader for multiple large, cross-functional ML/AI solutions, defining and driving the ML/AI technical roadmap, and influencing partner roadmaps across various teams. The role also involves proactively identifying and removing roadblocks for teams and projects, mentoring individuals and technical teams, and acting as a trusted subject-matter expert to shape ML/AI infrastructure, data, models, and tooling decisions. Additionally, the individual will play a leadership role in identifying areas of opportunity to drive revenue growth, cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and competitive differentiation, especially in areas involving 2D/3D part understanding, generative AI, and advanced machine-learning platforms.
The ideal candidate will have a Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a preference for a PhD for deep generative/3D modeling emphasis. They should possess over 12 years of professional experience in machine learning, artificial intelligence, or data science roles, including several years in a senior or principal capacity leading major programs.
