Responsibilities
Design, implement, and evaluate LLM/NLP/VLM models (pretraining, fine-tuning, instruction tuning as appropriate)
Develop and integrate knowledge graphs for reasoning, validation, and explainability (entity/relation extraction, ontology alignment, graph embeddings)
Build retrieval-augmented and tool-augmented systems (RAG, function/tool calling, agents) with robust evaluation
Create data pipelines for multimodal datasets (curation, augmentation, labeling) and enforce data quality standards
Implement benchmarking and evaluation frameworks (task metrics, bias/robustness checks, human-in-the-loop reviews)
Develop interactive demos and internal tools using modern web stacks (React, Node.js) to showcase capabilities
Write clean, well-tested code; document methods and results; contribute to publications, tech reports, and research artifacts
Qualification
Required
Currently enrollment in a PhD program in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, AI/ML, or related field
Permanent legal authorization to work in the US is required. This role is restricted to U.S. persons. GE will require proof of status prior to employment
Must be willing to work from the GE Aerospace Research office in Niskayuna, NY
Minimum GPA 3.0 / 4.0 scale
Preferred
Research experience in at least one of: LLMs, NLP, vision-language/multimodal learning, or knowledge graphs
