• Develop and optimize AI-enabled solutions that support low-latency, reliable, and resilient operation over telecommunication systems.
• Design, implement, and optimize AI models for robotic manipulation and control in resource-constrained environments.
• Collaborate with researchers and engineers to define research directions, develop prototypes, and translate research outcomes into practical solutions for real-world technical and business challenges.
• Stay current with advances in AI research, including emerging developments in telecom AI applications, robotics, and Physical AI.
• Proven research and development experience in computer vision, robotics, or related fields.
• Hands-on experience in computer vision model development, multimodal modeling and fine-tuning large language models (LLM).
• Proficiency in mainstream AI development frameworks, such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Strong programming skills in at least one language, such as Python, C/C++.
• Knowledge of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and Physical AI systems would be an advantage.
• PhD in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Demonstrated ability to independently drive research and development projects from conception through completion.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Publications at leading peer-reviewed venues (i.e., AAAI, CVPR, ICML, NeurIPS, etc.) are preferred.
