Job Summary
Summary
MuRay Tech is a deeptech spinout from DESY Hamburg. Were hiring a Reconstruction-AI Engineer to build the machine learning models that turn detector data into tracks and 3D density images for our Active Muon Imaging system. Youll develop point-cloud and graph neural networks for track finding physics-informed architectures for density reconstruction and the differentiable simulation stack both depend on. Direct ownership of the ML core of the imaging pipeline from simulated training data through to deployed reconstruction.
The role
As Reconstruction-AI Engineer youll own the machine learning models that turn detector data into tracks and 3D density images. That spans track finding density reconstruction and the differentiable simulation tools both depend on. You will:
- Develop ML models for track reconstruction.Train on large simulated datasets one per detector setup. Reject noise find tracks and estimate momentum with its error fast enough for real-time use.
- Develop AI models to reconstruct 3D density from muon tracks. Combine a compact prior for known nominal geometry with a full-resolution field for internal defects like porosity. Build it as a physics-informed architecture not a black box.
- Build the differentiable muon scattering simulation stack. A differentiable forward model of multiple Coulomb scattering through a 3D density field with gradient estimators suited to the underlying stochastic transport. Validate it against GEANT4.
- Develop AI models to reconstruct 3D density directly from raw detector data. Skip explicit track reconstruction going straight from detector hits to density. A long-term target once high-flux data is available built directly on the simulator and the track-based density work above.
What youll bring
- Point-cloud and graph neural network development. Youve trained GNN or point-cloud models on labeled hit-to-track data for noise rejection track finding and momentum estimation with calibrated errors.
- Large-scale synthetic training data engineering. Youve built pipelines that generate curate and validate simulated training sets at the scale a deep learning model needs.
- Differentiable physics-informed reconstruction development. Youve built a differentiable simulator and used it as the reconstruction engine itself. You combine a compact prior for known geometry with a full-resolution field for internal defects.
- Geant4 experience. Youve validated a differentiable simulator and the training data behind it against Geant4 directly.
- Uncertainty quantification. You calibrate error and confidence estimates for every reconstruction. That holds whether the model is trained on labeled data or fit through optimization.
- End-to-end ML systems experience. You treat simulation training and deployed reconstruction as one pipeline. Youve taken a model from simulated data through to production before.
How we work
- Skunkworks approach:We work in small teams with full ownership. We keep it simple stupid.
- Move fast:a shiny prototype means we spent too long on it. We build to learn. We polish later.
- Disagree together commit together: we debate and challenge regardless of title. Then we deliver the decision as one team. We win as a team. We pivot as a team.
- Courage: we always make the call. A mistake isnt a failure: its proof were improving. Either way we own the outcome.
- Honesty and transparency: we share whats really happening good or bad. That lets everyone make the right call. We stay open. We stay honest.
What we offer
- Impact: unsolved problems not engineering backlog. Solve them and an inspector sees inside a sealed rocket engine in seconds instead of days.
- Pace: a model you train this week gets validated against real scan data the next. The week after a customer sees something inside their part that no scan showed before.
- Infrastructure: access to an H200 GPU cluster in Hamburg plus LUMI for training and large-scale simulation. Real detector data to validate against.
- Network: development and business collaborators include DESY German Space Agency (DLR) Siemens Energy Marvel Fusion Caelora.
- Ownership: an equity plan gives you a meaningful stake in the company.
- Compensation: a salary that reflects your contribution to MuRays growth.
- Relocation: we support your move. If youre relocating from outside the EU we help with the paperwork.

About us
MuRay builds compact laser-plasma accelerators that generate a controlled muon beam. Muon scans today are passive and take days. Active Muon Imaging produces the same scan in seconds at higher resolution. We work with partners in aerospace defence and energy today. Next: security customs and medical imaging.
