Edge AI Multimodal Reasoning Architect

Jobtailor; California (MO); On-site; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Jobtailor is seeking a PhD-level researcher to design and build multimodal reasoning models for Edge AI. You will collaborate with experts across AI domains, evaluate transformer-based models, and contribute to research publications.

Prototyping in Python with PyTorch/TensorFlow and applying knowledge-distillation are key responsibilities. The role involves full research lifecycle work, including data collection, preprocessing, model training, and rigorous evaluation, with about 10% travel.

Qualifications

• PhD in AI-related fields such as NLP, CV, or related discipline.
• Strong publication record in NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, NAACL, EMNLP, CVPR, or AAAI.
• Proficiency in building and evaluating transformer-based models.
• Expertise in supervised fine-tuning and post-training techniques for reasoning models.
• Experience with multimodal reasoning models combining text, audio, and video data.
• Familiarity with Chain-of-Thought reasoning and its applications in LLMs.
• Experience with multimodal reasoning frameworks and integrating text, images, audio, and video.

Responsibilities

• Design and build multimodal reasoning models for Edge AI applications.
• Collaborate with AI, NLP, audio, time series, and other domain experts.
• Build and evaluate deep learning models for multimodal classification and reasoning.
• Engage in the full research lifecycle from data collection to rigorous evaluation.
• Prototype models in Python using PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Implement mid-training and post-training improvements for reasoning models.
• Apply knowledge-distillation to transfer capabilities to smaller models.
• Document experiments and results through internal reports and publications.
