About Distributedspectrum

Gain actionable insights from the radio spectrum in real-time with small, cheap and efficient sensors from Distributed Spectrum. Backed by Felicis and Conviction.

About the role

Some domains already have standard ML playbooks. RF is not one of them. Distributed Spectrum is building AI-enabled sensing systems for the radio domain, and we are hiring a Machine Learning Researcher, Specialist to bring modern ML to a problem space where representation, structure, physics, runtime constraints, and deployment realities all matter at once.

What they're looking for

  • Deep mathematical and modeling fundamentals
  • Strong hands-on experience with modern ML frameworks and experimental practice
  • Ability to work in domains where problem formulation is as important as implementation
  • Strong instincts for signal-rich, structured, non-generic data
  • Comfort operating with ambiguity and changing requirements
  • Clear technical communication and cross-functional collaboration
More about this role

DS creates systems that power the next generation of radio spectrum intelligence. We collect radio data from all over the world, train neural networks to decipher it, and run them on the smallest chips we can. We’re solving a new, technically hard problem where nothing from other fields works out of the box, and along the way, we’ve built our own stack from scratch, including entirely new embedding model architectures, custom GPU kernels, and much more.

Joining DS means owning major parts of a fast-growing AI research organization, joining a collaborative, talent-dense team with decades of experience in probabilistic ML, accelerated computing, embedded systems, and signal theory, and growing your career in the areas that interest you. You’ll fit in if you want to come to work for the problem itself and don’t want to choose between technical rigor, business value, and real-world impact.

We work with high ownership and trust.
