About This Opportunity

The AI & Emerging Technologies unit focuses on Generative AI, software technologies, Embedded AI, and Data Analytics. We develop prototypes and technology foresight for RAN Software and Compute Engineering by collaborating cross-functionally on network data, analytics, and generative AI to drive innovation.

Within this unit, the Applied Generative AI team aims to build a robust Generative AI practice to transform AI-assisted tooling for R&D and establish generative models for future RAN products.

As a Data Scientist in the Applied Generative AI research team, you will combine programming skills with expertise in deep learning and generative AI. You will conduct research on large language models (LLMs), develop algorithms, and create production solutions that address real-world problems. You will collaborate with product, engineering, and research peers in dynamic and global environments.

What you will do:

  • Conduct research on LLM training methods, such as prompt tuning, instruction fine-tuning, retrieval-augmentation, multi-modal integration, efficient fine-tuning (LoRA, adapters), etc.
  • Design, prototype, and evaluate generative AI agents and tool-augmented reasoning systems.
  • Benchmark generative AI models for performance, alignment (safety, fairness), robustness, and usability; create new evaluation metrics.
  • Design data flow and implement machine learning models for production.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to integrate cutting-edge research into real-world applications.
  • Drive internal research and develop intellectual property and publications.
  • Present findings at academic and industry conferences.

The skills you will bring:

  • Master's degree (MSc) or Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related field.
  • Extensive hands-on expertise with large language models, including but not limited to the GPT family, LLaMA, Mistral, and Claude, as well as transformer-based architectures.
  • Proficiency in Python and popular machine learning libraries such as PyTorch and Hugging Face Transformers.
  • Strong understanding of transformer architectures, self-attention mechanisms, and optimization techniques.
  • Solid foundation in traditional machine learning algorithms, including regression, classification, clustering, tree-based methods, and ensemble techniques, alongside deep learning methodologies such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and attention mechanisms.
  • Familiarity with MLOps tools and practices, including Docker, Kubernetes, MLflow, and AWS cloud services for data storage and computational purposes.
  • Additional experience in publishing papers, white papers, or filing patents is advantageous.
