TUM Venture Labs – Expert AI Infrastructure & Frontier Models (m/f/d)

You will move between two worlds: deep technical conversations with ML-infrastructure experts from CSCS/ALPS, Jülich, AWS, Google, and NVIDIA, and high-impact discussions with top innovators and early founders emerging from ecosystems like TUM, ETH, and IPAI. If that combination energizes you, read on.

Your mission

• Drive hub collaboration: align technical leads across the hubs and lead flagship projects that catalyze real, cross-border cooperation.
• Shape frontier model development: Define approaches to frontier model development with partners and founders that address the current challenges.
• Build the open innovation layer: create sandboxes, APIs and formats so the next wave of builders starts faster.
• Enable future founders and startups: design the education and support formats that help teams scale models, data and compute into products.
• Map and improve the landscape: continuously analyze the compute, data, model architectures, training approaches and evaluation resources across the Triangle and close the gaps.
• Coordinate compute access: secure fair, workable access across STACKIT, ALPS, KI Service-Centers, and cloud providers for founders and startups.
• Steer data and evaluation: manage shared training-data access, develop sector-specific benchmarks, and scale evaluation know-how across the network.

Your profile

• Technical depth: you are a senior expert in ML training and infrastructure – from data to pre- and post-trainiang, inference, MLOps, and cloud.
• Credibility and network: you have the standing to build trust with leading universities, entrepreneurship centers, and high-growth startups, and to be taken seriously as a peer.
• Strategic clarity: you turn complex infrastructure challenges into strategies that work across an entire ecosystem.
• Bridge-building: you connect deep-tech research with applied technology, build trusted relationships with founders and partners, and spar with them on hard decisions - with empathy and clarity.
• Languages: fluent German and English, written and spoken.
