• At least one of year of experience in conducting independent research ideally in the following areas: Large Language Models, Entity and Relation extraction, Zero / Few-shot Learning.
• Proficient in implementing algorithms, data pipelines and solutions in Python.
• Self-starter, ability to work in ambiguous environments, and excellent communication skills.

Ideal Candidate:

Should have experience in data analytics, optimization, estimation, or detection algorithms.

Desired Characteristics

• A PhD Degree program with at least three years of experience in conducting independent research.
• Previous experience in training, fine-tuning (including instruction-tuning), and deploying Large Language Models.
• Proven track record of publications at top AI conferences (or co-located workshops).
• Experience of working with problems and data from industrial domains (Aviation, Energy, Healthcare, Manufacturing, etc.).
• Strong foundations in design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms in different computing architectures is desired.
• Experience with computer vision algorithms is a plus.

At GE Aerospace, we have a relentless dedication to the future of safe and more sustainable flight and believe in our talented people to make it happen. Here, you will have the opportunity to work on really cool things with really smart and collaborative people. Together, we will mobilize a new era of growth in aerospace and defense.
