Philips is looking to integrate advanced AI into their core engineering workflows by building a next-generation platform to solve complex engineering problems using a collaborative multi-agent system.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and hands-on expertise with Large Language Models (LLMs) and transformer architectures.
- Strong programming skills in Python and experience with common ML/NLP libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, scikit-learn).
- Solid theoretical understanding and practical experience in designing and building RAG pipelines, including knowledge of vector databases (e.g., Qdrant, Pinecone, FAISS) and embedding models.
- Familiarity with cloud computing platforms (Microsoft Azure is a strong plus) and their associated AI/ML services.
Responsibilities
- Design and Prototype Novel Generative AI Solutions: Take a leading role in the research, design, and implementation of proof-of-concept (PoC) and prototype applications for key systems engineering use cases,
- Leverage our Modern AI Platform: Work hands-on with our purpose-built AI stack, including:
- Interacting with and extending the Open-WebUI API gateway.
- Utilizing Azure OpenAI models (GPT-4o, text-embedding-3-large) via our LiteLLM proxy.
- Building solutions on top of our Qdrant vector database, designed for terabyte-scale knowledge bases.
- Deploying and managing services within a Docker containerized environment.
- Advance the State-of-the-Art in RAG and Agentic Applications: Investigate and apply cutting-edge techniques in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), including advanced chunking strategies, re-ranking algorithms, and prompt engineering to optimize performance for complex technical and regulatory documents.
