Role Overview
Join a forward-thinking AI team focused on advancing multimodal inference for next-generation generative models. In this role, you'll drive the design and optimization of AI systems that unify text, vision, and audio inputs, enabling intelligent applications across diverse deployment environments—from edge devices to embodied systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and refine multimodal deep learning models tailored for low-latency, high-throughput inference.
- Collaborate with AI researchers, hardware engineers, and software developers to embed optimized models into scalable platform architectures.
- Apply advanced techniques such as quantization, pruning, and knowledge distillation to enhance model efficiency without sacrificing performance.
- Monitor emerging research in generative AI and multimodal learning, integrating novel methods into production workflows.
- Establish robust testing and deployment pipelines to ensure models perform reliably at scale.
Qualifications
Applicants should demonstrate hands-on experience with multimodal model development using frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX. A solid foundation in natural language processing, computer vision, and speech processing is required, along with proven success in optimizing models for constrained environments.
Familiarity with distributed and in-memory computing systems, as well as deployment tools like TensorRT or ONNX, is strongly preferred. Candidates must be comfortable in fast-moving technical environments and capable of clearly communicating complex concepts across disciplines.
Education and Experience
- Advanced degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field is highly desirable.
- Minimum of five years of professional experience in AI/ML development post-graduation.
- Direct experience deploying models on edge hardware or in high-performance computing setups is a significant advantage.
Work Environment
This position supports hybrid and remote work arrangements in Belgium and Italy, with relocation assistance available for candidates moving to Leuven, Bologna, Florence, or Milan. The team operates in a collaborative, inclusive culture that values technical excellence, continuous growth, and diverse perspectives.
Compensation and Benefits
Offerings include a competitive salary, equity participation, and a comprehensive benefits package. The organization is committed to equal opportunity and fosters an environment where all team members are empowered to contribute and grow.
