Careers.

Orbital Materials discovers and commercialises breakthrough materials for climate change (think CO2 capture, sustainable aviation fuel or new batteries) using artificial intelligence and computational chemistry. At the core of our R&D capability is a generative foundation model of materials science.

The founding team hails from DeepMind, the Allen Institute (AI2), the University of Toronto and the University of Edinburgh, with over 15k citations stretching across ML and materials. We’re particularly interested in people who’re passionate about machine learning approaches to simulation and atomic systems.
