WHAT WE DO

Creating opportunity, transforming lives… one scholarship at a time.

We believe that every motivated, deserving student with the desire for higher education should have the opportunity to pursue it. Our efforts began in 1962 when a visionary group of parents and educators in Santa Barbara created the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara (SFSB) to eliminate disparities between who can and cannot access postsecondary education. Ignited by the vision of our founders, we exist to encourage and support Santa Barbara County students to and through college, graduate, and vocational school by providing information, advising, and scholarships.

Today, we are the nation’s largest community-based provider of college scholarships, having cumulatively awarded more than $167 million to over 64,000 Santa Barbara County students. Funded entirely through philanthropy, we awarded 2,125 scholarships totaling $7.7 million in 2025, and each year, we provide critical financial aid advising services to some 20,000 county residents.

Beyond direct scholarship awards, we empower students to make informed, strategic financial decisions regarding their education. Our staff provides expert guidance through the complexities of federal and state financial aid forms, scholarship applications, and award letter analysis—all free of charge. Last year, through our advisory services, we helped scholarship recipients secure an additional $50.5 million in federal, state, and institutional aid. For more information, please visit & CULTURE

Our work is guided by a highly engaged and connected Board of 26 community leaders from across the region. With an annual operating budget of $10.7 million, a carefully managed endowment of $78 million, and through the annual distribution of approximately $7.7 million in scholarship awards, our team of 18 professionals delivers services through two offices covering North and South County Santa Barbara. As a founding member of Cal-SOAP (California Student Opportunity and Access Program), we partner closely with a diverse range of organizations, including schools, community-based organizations, businesses, and funders. Thanks to an exceptionally efficient use of resources, SFSB has earned the top 4-star ranking from Charity Navigator for the past 10 years, with 100% of gifts intended for scholarship funding going directly to deserving students.

SFSB’s success is rooted in an enviable, positive culture where our highly skilled team operates with mutual respect and a shared commitment to the mission. We foster a collaborative environment that values work-life balance, independence, and the trust of an approachable, transparent leadership team. This supportive atmosphere has led to remarkable continuity, with some staff members serving the organization for nearly two decades. Our work is further strengthened by the lived experience of team members who were once scholarship recipients themselves, bringing a unique and personal perspective to everything we do.

In addition to the main campus in Atlanta, Georgia, ECE also has permanent operations at Georgia Tech-Lorraine in France. Graduate students who spend at least one semester each at of the Georgia Tech locations (Atlanta, Lorraine, on two continents, North America and Europe) can earn the Georgia Tech Global Engineering Immersion Program (GEIP) Certificate when they receive the Georgia Tech M.S. degree.

Over 110 ECE faculty members are involved in 11 areas of research and education: bioengineering, computer systems and software, digital signal processing, electrical energy, electromagnetics, electronic design and applications, nanotechnology, optics and photonics, systems and controls, telecommunications, and VLSI systems and digital design: and the School is either home to or a key player in almost 20 research centers and consortia.

ECE is key to Georgia Tech's growing reputation as an internationally recognized educational and research and development university. ECE is firmly committed to sustaining excellence in traditional areas of strength and venturing into burgeoning areas of opportunity.

The Signal Lab in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech is seeking a Research Scientist to lead and advance cutting-edge research in Artificial Intelligence. The role will involve laboratory management, project oversight, and business development activities to name a few.

• Lead and execute advanced research programs in large-scale AI, including foundation model architectures, multimodal representation learning, world models, agentic systems, and self-supervised learning at scale.
• Design and evaluate new training algorithms, model architectures, and scalable pipelines for language, vision, audio, robotics, simulation, and multi-agent environments.
• Develop GPU-, TPU-, and cluster-optimized training frameworks, distributed training systems, and inference-time optimization pipelines for next-generation AI models.
• Publish high-impact papers in top AI/ML venues, release open-source tools, and contribute to Georgia Tech's AI research leadership and national strategic priorities.

2. Lab Management and AI Compute Infrastructure Operations

• Oversee daily operations of the AI research lab, including GPU clusters, high-performance storage, distributed training stacks, and data governance frameworks.
• Manage, maintain, and expand high-performance compute infrastructure: multi-node GPU clusters, distributed data loaders, RL/simulation environments, and model evaluation frameworks.
• Ensure safety, compliance, documentation, model governance, data integrity, and continuous uptime of compute and AI assets.
• Build automated pipelines for model training, experiment reproducibility, dataset generation, benchmarking, and large-scale evaluation.

3. Affiliate Engagement, Business Development, and Partnerships

• Engage, onboard, and support affiliate companies participating in the AI and foundation model research program.
• Serve as a technical liaison for affiliates across AI labs, cloud providers, robotics companies, semiconductor partners, government agencies, and enterprise AI users.
• Define joint research thrusts, scoping documents, datasets, deliverables, evaluation protocols, and IP structures for partner organizations.
• Coordinate demos, campus visits, model showcases, and affiliate meetings to support collaboration and knowledge transfer.

4. Project Management and PhD Mentorship

• Mentor PhD students, postdocs, and research engineers working on foundation models, world models, agentic systems, and large-scale representation learning.
• Manage multi-PI, multi-institution, and affiliate-funded AI research efforts, ensuring timely execution, publications, deliverables, reporting, and stakeholder satisfaction.
• Provide technical direction on model design, dataset creation, training strategies, evaluation, experiment planning, scheduling, milestones, and results dissemination.
