Who We Are At Osmo
Osmo is a digital olfaction company, on a mission to give computers a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell both enriches and saves lives, and has a deep and direct connection to our emotions and memory. Vision and hearing have been digitized, but not scent. It’s time we solve this. We’re bringing an unprecedented combination of software, data, hardware and capital to the historic challenge of giving computers a sense of smell.
We believe in the power of automation and carefully applied AI/ML to solve problems that are beyond what the unaided human mind can tackle on its own. In the first phase of our development, we are using our map of odor along with cutting-edge generative AI to create the next generation of aroma molecules (e.g., the ingredients in the fragrances we wear and the products we use). Beyond fragrance machine olfaction has application across many industries, including manufacturing, military, medicine, and more. Working for Osmo means solving problems using digital olfaction for these customers. We're a hybrid company with a laboratory and center-of-mass in New York, NY and offices in Somerville, MA.
Osmo is looking for a summer intern to join our ML team to build our capabilities and drive cutting-edge research that can lead to a different future for humanity. You will be a member of the machine learning team, reporting to the Head of Machine Learning.
Responsibilities
- Dive deeply into various datasets, understand their characteristics and derive insight and an evaluation framework for real-world machine learning models.
- Develop innovative ML models, creative data featurizations, or new problem formulations to take advantage of scent data in various modalities and unlock new computational capabilities.
