PhD Researcher in Artificial Intelligence, specialized in LLMs & ML

Are you ready to take on cutting-edge challenges in AI by designing, benchmarking, and applying state-of-the-art Machine Learning (ML), Large Language Models (LLMs), and Agentic AI solutions?

Join our team at the Applied Artificial Intelligence Unit of EURECAT.

We are seeking a highly motivated engineer with a hybrid profile in LLMs and ML to help shape the future of AI and drive digital transformation across sectors.

If you are passionate about cutting-edge AI research, real-world impact, and bridging LLMs with broader ML techniques, we want to hear from you!

As a member of our team, you will:

• Design and implement cutting-edge LLM-based solutions, including fine-tuning transformer models, LLM workflows, agents, and integrating generative AI into real-world applications.
• Develop and benchmark Agentic AI and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions, enabling autonomous reasoning, memory handling, and efficient knowledge retrieval.
• Apply classical ML techniques (regression, classification, clustering, feature engineering) and modern Deep Learning approaches (CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, GNNs) to develop models for time series forecasting, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance, among others.
• Conduct research and experimentation with the latest advancements in NLP, ML, and generative AI, staying ahead of the curve in interpretability, efficiency, and responsible AI.
• Lifecycle maintenance and continuous improvement of deployed ML and RAG solutions in production environments, ensuring ongoing efficiency and quality.
• Apply state-of-the-art AI techniques to projects in knowledge extraction, document understanding, multimodal AI, and AI-driven content generation.
• Contribute to AI research and innovation, publishing findings and collaborating with the broader AI/ML community.
• Lead and collaborate on AI-driven projects, working within multidisciplinary teams to develop impactful, scalable, and responsible AI solutions.
