As an Advanced AI Research Scientist Associate Director, you will formulate real-world problems into practical, efficient, and scalable AI and Machine Learning problems. You will lead teams and provide guidance to explore and implement new methodologies, model building techniques, and cutting-edge algorithms, and applying these techniques with the right architecture to solve real-world problems.

You will have a deep understanding and ability to remain at the forefront of generative AI, LLM, and multi-modal models. You will train and/or fine-tune generative AI models and evaluate on the specific problem. You will direct/influence research direction and set strategic research priorities for short-term and long-term workstreams. You will also work collaboratively with teams and leaders from both the business and technical side to achieve end-to-end project development goals.

The work includes participating in internal and external discussions to gather business use case requirements, providing on the spot AI expertise and AI solution options for business problems. You will design, develop, and implement advanced AI/ML models, especially LLM and other Gen AI models from scratch or existing foundation models via self-supervised learning, transferred-learning, and fine-tuning techniques. You will design, develop, and implement highly sophisticated Gen AI based applications including generative agent and similar architectures which support multiple Gen AI models to work together for complex tasks.

You will lead technical teams and grow true AI expertise within a broader team including offshore. You will collaborate seamlessly with diverse, cross-functional teams to accurately identify and prioritize requirements, ensuring that the AI solutions meet the needs and expectations of various stakeholders. You will develop and execute an AI solution project plan with team, timeline, and infrastructure dependency. You will define and implement a value justification approach to the AI solutions, estimate solution cost with right technological choices, and calculate ROI. You will create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation that comprehensibly captures the intricate details of the solution, capturing the IP, facilitating seamless understanding, knowledge transfer, and future development.

You will collaborate with academia partners to stay on the cutting edge of AI, especially Gen AI technologies, providing through leadership on AI trend, AI use case innovation trend, new AI opportunities, or foreseeable limitation, risks, and concerns. Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements. This role requires working onsite at our Generative AI Center of Excellence located in Mountain View, CA.

Here's what you need:

Minimum of 7 years of experience in designing and developing neural network models, especially deep learning model, and foundation models.

Minimum of 6 years of experience in building, fine-tuning foundation models including LLMs and multi-modal models.

Minimum of 7 years of strong working knowledge of the different technologies, their differences, modalities in the Generate AI space.

Minimum of 7 years of working knowledge and familiarity with different LLM driven application architecture patterns.

Minimum of 7 years of experience in deep learning and neural networks, in particular training and large language models with popular libraries and GPUs.

Minimum of 7 years of working knowledge of computer architecture, and familiarity with the fundamentals of GPU architecture.

Minimum of 7 years of proven experience with processor and system-level performance modelling.

Minimum of 4 years of experience of technical team management or team mentoring.

Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate's Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)
