About the company:

Axle Energy is a UK-based energy technology company that provides a unified API platform enabling carmakers, EV charger manufacturers, battery systems, and heating and cooling providers to connect distributed home energy assets to electricity markets. Through its platform, companies can aggregate these assets into a coordinated virtual power plant (VPP), allowing flexible demand to be shifted and optimised in response to grid conditions. Axle handles the full stack from asset onboarding and optimisation to payment distribution, making it straightforward for hardware and energy brands to monetise flexibility without building bespoke grid integration infrastructure. Axle Energy's mission is closely aligned with the green energy transition. By turning everyday home assets such as electric vehicles, heat pumps, and batteries into grid-responsive resources, the company helps balance electricity networks that are increasingly reliant on intermittent renewable generation. This approach supports decarbonisation goals by reducing the need for fossil-fuel peaker plants and enabling higher penetrations of renewable energy, while also providing financial returns to end users and partner businesses. What distinguishes Axle Energy is its developer-first approach and breadth of asset coverage under a single, enterprise-grade API with over 99.9% uptime. The platform currently has 300,000 live devices connected and a flexibility pool of 2 GW of shiftable load capacity. Trusted by brands including Pod Point, Myenergi, and Easee, Axle has demonstrated the ability to drive regulatory change and deliver features rapidly. The company announced a $25 million Series A funding round led by Energize Capital, underscoring investor confidence in its market position.

Position Overview

 

The Data Scientist Fellow will develop computational models to predict and optimize organoid growth and differentiation protocols in support of the SOM Center. The incumbent will apply advanced machine learning techniques to organoid standardization and contribute to the development of predictive models for tissue engineering applications.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

  • Model development. Design and implement machine learning models that predict organoid development outcomes based on protocol parameters, environmental conditions, and molecular characterization data.

  • In silico simulation. Develop in silico models that correspond to organoid growth, maturation, and characterize phenotype while identifying optimal conditions for reproducible organoid generation.

  • Feedback systems. Establish feedback loops between experimental validation and computational prediction in order to iteratively refine and understand protocol standardization.

  • Interdisciplinary collaboration. Work with experimental teams to design characterization and validation experiments and with bioinformatics scientists to integrate multi-modal datasets.

 

Required Qualifications

 

  • Education. Doctoral degree (PhD) in computer science, engineering, applied mathematics, or a related field, with demonstrated experience in AI/ML model development.

  • Programming. Strong programming proficiency in Python, R, or comparable languages, together with experience using machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn.

  • Applied experience. Prior experience applying computational methods in biological laboratory settings, including working knowledge of experimental design principles and biological data types.

 

Preferred Qualifications

 

  • Experience with organoid systems or tissue engineering applications.

  • Knowledge of differential equations and systems biology modeling, and experience with deep learning approaches for biological applications.

  • Familiarity with cloud computing platforms and containerization technologies.
