Principal AI/ML Engineer, Deep Agentic Reasoning Engineer

About the role

Analog Devices is looking for a Principal AI/ML Engineer (Deep Agentic Reasoning Engineer, open rank) to design and build multimodal reasoning models (time-series, audio, video, sensor data) for Edge AI applications. The role works with experts in AI, NLP, audio, time series and RL to advance reasoning capabilities, and involves building agentic systems and multimodal reasoning frameworks.

Key responsibilities

• Build and evaluate deep learning models for multimodal classification and reasoning tasks.
• Run the full research lifecycle: stakeholder discussions, data collection, annotation, preprocessing, model training and evaluation.
• Prototype models in Python (PyTorch/TensorFlow) and implement mid-training and post-training reasoning improvements.
• Apply knowledge distillation to transfer reasoning from larger models to smaller, efficient ones.
• Document experiments and results in internal reports, blog posts and publications at top-tier conferences and workshops.

Required profile

• 10+ years of experience releasing software products with a strong track record of AI/ML success.
• 6+ years of experience releasing AI/ML products.
• PhD in AI-related fields such as NLP, computer vision, speech processing or a related discipline.
• Strong publication record in top-tier venues (e.g. NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, NAACL, EMNLP, CVPR).

Required skills

• Training, post-training and evaluation of transformer-based models, including supervised fine-tuning and RL (e.g. GRPO).
• Hands-on experience modifying transformer architectures and implementing Chain-of-Thought, agentic tree search and continual learning.
• Multi-agent orchestration and task decomposition, with both static frameworks (e.g. LangGraph) and dynamic multi-agent harnesses.
• Interest in emerging paradigms such as JEPA training, world models, diffusion-based generation and agentic harnesses.

What we offer

• Expected wage range of $230,000 to $316,250, with a discretionary performance-based bonus.
• Medical, vision and dental coverage, 401k, paid vacation, holidays and sick time.
• 10% travel required; first shift, days.
