Principal AI/ML Engineer, Deep Agentic Reasoning Engineer (Lorenz Labs) - CA, San Jose, Rio Robles, United States
$230,000 - $316,250 USD yearly
Originally posted 11 September 2026 by the employer — open 8 days.
About the role
This role involves designing and building multimodal reasoning models for Edge AI applications.
What you'll do
- Develop and evaluate deep learning models for multimodal classification and reasoning tasks.
- Engage in the full research lifecycle, including data collection, annotation, preprocessing, model training, and evaluation.
- Prototype models in Python (using PyTorch/TensorFlow) and implement core reasoning improvements.
- Apply distillation techniques to transfer reasoning capabilities from larger models to smaller, efficient models.
- Document experiments and results through internal reports, blog posts, and publications.
What you'll need
- 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, or Speech Processing.
- Strong publication record in NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, NAACL, EMNLP, or CVPR.
- Proficiency in training, post-training, and evaluating transformer-based models with deep understanding of training dynamics, architecture modifications, and optimization techniques.
- Expertise in supervised fine-tuning, RL (e.g., GRPO), and advanced post-training techniques for reasoning models.
- Experience in implementing and modifying transformer architectures (encoder/decoder variants, attention mechanisms, positional encodings).
- Advanced knowledge of techniques including Chain-of-Thought (CoT) and agentic tree search methods.
- Experience with multi-agent orchestration, task decomposition, and static frameworks (e.g., LangGraph) and dynamic multi-agent harnesses.
