Senior AI Recruiter

About the role

You will be the dedicated recruiter for our AIMS team — Artificial Intelligence, Modeling, and Simulation — a world-class research and engineering group working on some of the hardest problems in applied AI.

Partnering with this team is not just a recruiting role; it is a front-row seat to how elite AI teams are built. You will own searches from intake through close, partnering closely with hiring managers to understand not only what each role requires, but what makes someone exceptional in it.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting for the AIMS team, including AI/ML engineers, research engineers, digital twin specialists, generative CAD engineers, computer vision engineers, and data engineers
• Build sourcing strategies from scratch, including target company lists, referral networks, talent maps, and multi-channel outreach
• Develop pipelines that are not dependent on inbound applicants or obvious LinkedIn searches
• Partner with hiring managers through intake, calibration, candidate review, interview process management, offer strategy, and closing
• Translate role requirements into clear candidate profiles, outreach strategies, and interview plans
• Create a candidate experience that reflects the quality of the team: proactive, transparent, personal, and high-signal at every stage
• Provide market intelligence that helps the team make faster, better hiring decisions
• Identify where searches are blocked, diagnose root causes, and adjust strategy quickly
• Maintain clear communication and search visibility without creating unnecessary process burden for the hiring team

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree required
• 3–10 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally in a high-growth or startup environment, including exposure to AI, ML, data engineering, research, infrastructure, robotics, simulation, or similarly complex technical roles
• Strong technical curiosity and the ability to understand what makes one technical candidate stronger than another
• Proven ability to build pipelines for roles where the talent pool is small, specialized, and highly competitive
• A sourcing methodology that goes well beyond LinkedIn and inbound applicants
• Strong instincts for quality, signal, and fit in candidate profiles
• Comfort pushing back when the bar drifts, the process breaks down, or the search needs recalibration
• Ability to operate independently, move searches forward, and reduce cognitive load for hiring managers
• Clear, concise, high-signal communication with candidates, hiring managers, and the broader recruiting team
• Strong closing instincts and comfort navigating competitive offer situations
• Curiosity, ownership, creativity, and resilience in hard searches
