Junior/Senior Research Engineer

Role Summary We are partnering with a leading research and innovation organisation to hire a Junior/Senior Research Engineer to build Agentic Intelligence systems for planning, scheduling, and inventory optimization in manufacturing and operations environment. In this role, you will work on agent-based AI systems, combining Large Language Model (LLM), optimization techniques, and real-world data to create scalable, production-ready solutions. Key Responsibilities - Build and improve multi-agent systems for planning, scheduling, and inventory tasks - Combine LLMs with optimization methods to solve complex real-world problems - Design and extend semantic reasoning layers (intents, constraints, domain logic) - Model operational data using knowledge graphs + vector search - Develop event-driven backend services and APIs integrated with enterprise systems - Improve agent orchestration, tool integration, and workflows - Set up evaluation, monitoring, and guardrails (cost, latency, reliability) - Deploy and run services using Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines - Collaborate with AI/ML engineers to bring research into production - Work with end users (planners/operators) to ensure practical, usable solutions - Leverage AI coding tools to improve development speed and quality Our Ideal Candidate - Has a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field. - Has at least 5 years of experience building production backend systems using Python, C#, FastAPI or similar, preferably in manufacturing domain with MES/ERP systems - Has experience with the following tech stack: - Agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph) - RAG systems (retrieval, chunking, reranking, evaluation) - Vector databases (Pinecone, Qdrant, etc.) - Event-driven systems (Kafka or similar) - Has strong knowledge of cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD - Has excellent problem-solving, troubleshooting, and analytical skills - Has effective communication and collaboration skills #LI-SC1
