Description:
The objective of the project is to solve industry problems in aviation, security and defense using language-model-powered Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) & Agentic AI*. The end goals include proof-of-concept (POC) demonstrators to business partners. The challenges are to tailor the system to the unique business requirements, as well as to keep up with the breakneck pace of breakthroughs in LLM. The work involves entire machine-learning lifecycle including data exploration, data preparation (cleaning/transforming/annotation), and model serving/testing/tuning.

Responsibilities:

• Right-size the computing hardware / software for the jobs
  
• Collect / clean / transform / annotate data
  
• Survey / select / develop / compare candidate LLM models and serving frameworks
  
• Develop software codes to automate entire machine-learning lifecycle
  

Requirements:

• Hands-on experience with machine learning
  
• Proficient in at least two programming languages e.g. shell, Python, R, Matlab, C
  
• Preferably experience with Generative AI, especially using API calls with chat completion, vector embedding and function calling
  
• Preferably experience in making, serving and proxying API calls e.g. HTTP
  
• Keen interests in machine-learning operations for scale up and fast iteration
  
• Team player
  

Expected Outcome:

• Demonstration of a working system with well-defined end-to-end test scenarios
  
• Documentation of the finding, design and test cases / results
  
• Team sharing and communication of various forms, including but not limited to live demo, video and workshops
