New College Grad - Algorithm Developer III - PhD (Winter 2026 Start) joins the Rocket team to work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, theoretical physics, and systems engineering. This role involves developing next-generation solutions for high-impact semiconductor manufacturing applications by building automated systems that process data from thousands of sensors. The developer will identify physics-based relationships, build predictive and control models, and create scalable data pipelines to analyze high-volume sensor data. Key tasks include developing machine learning surrogates, reduced order models, and robust software modules integrated with real-world tools. The role requires expertise in theoretical physics, applied mathematics, computational science, and modern machine learning techniques like physics-informed neural networks. Candidates must possess strong software engineering skills to translate complex algorithms into production-ready code while solving technical problems related to semiconductor manufacturing processes and hardware systems.
