You will be mainly accountable for:

• Participate in designing AI solution architectures and help implement seamless integration between AI applications and industrial equipment (e.g., PLCs, sensors, automation platforms).
• Explore and develop industrial vision and multi-modal AI applications, alongside predictive maintenance and deep learning algorithms.
• Assist in testing, selecting, and deploying local Large Language Models (LLMs) and building RAG systems for industrial knowledge hubs.
• Support on-site deployment, testing, and commissioning of industrial AI modules, and learn to optimize performance based on field feedback.
• Write technical documents and collaborate with distributed teams to ensure high-quality delivery.

Qualifications for the role：
