Research Engineer (LLM and AI Applications)

Job Description

We are seeking a motivated and technically skilled Research Engineer to join a research project focusing on the development of AI-powered solutions for industrial operations and maintenance (O&M).

The successful candidate will conduct research and development in large language models (LLMs) and AI applications, e.g. intelligent agents, with a particular focus on customizing LLMs for industrial O&M applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Research, develop, and customize LLM-based solutions for industrial O&M applications, including maintenance knowledge retrieval, fault diagnosis, inspection assistance, and operational support.
• Develop and implement techniques such as prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and model fine-tuning to adapt LLMs to domain-specific requirements.
• Design and implement knowledge bases and retrieval pipelines using maintenance manuals, inspection records, operational procedures, and other technical documents.

• Integrate LLM-based applications with computer vision models, sensor data, and other AI components to support intelligent inspection and diagnosis.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Hands-on experience with LLMs, including one or more of the following: prompt engineering, RAG, model fine-tuning, or LLM-based application development.
• Demonstrated experience in relevant LLM related AI/ML research, software development, or applied R&D projects.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and software debugging skills.
• Good communication skills and ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary research team.
