AI scientist platform automating discovery across the R&D lifecycle
Edison Scientific builds an AI scientist agent that works alongside research teams from discovery through regulatory approval. Its stack pairs model-training tooling (PyTorch, JAX, Megatron-LM, Ray) with multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP and Azure, consistent with bring-your-own-cloud deployments into enterprise R&D environments. Senior-heavy engineering hiring runs alongside an early commercial build-out, and Okta and DLP adoption point to enterprise security readiness.
Edison Scientific is a San Francisco-based company founded in 2025 as a spinout from the nonprofit research lab FutureHouse. It develops Kosmos, an AI scientist that uses an organization's proprietary data and internal context to support complex research decisions. The platform targets scientific R&D organizations, including those working toward FDA approval. The company has 51–200 employees and currently hires only in the United States, mainly in engineering, with smaller research, data, healthcare and sales functions.
Edison Scientific uses PyTorch, JAX, Ray and Megatron-LM for AI, Python, FastAPI, TypeScript and Next.js for application development, PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data, and AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes and Terraform for infrastructure.
Edison Scientific is building a core platform that automates scientific discovery. Related work includes development of its AI scientist agent, data pipelines for agents, tool-use pipelines, an experiment platform and a benchmarking framework.
Yes. Engineering is Edison Scientific's largest hiring area, and most open roles are senior-level. Hiring is accelerating, all in the United States, with additional openings in sales, research and operations.
