Company Overview

Our client is a Research lead organisation focusing on cutting-edge software, AI, and hardware innovation.

Position Overview

Design, implement, and evaluate novel research prototypes for on-device personal LLM agents, with emphasis on adaptive test-time scaling, privacy-preserving memory consolidation, and RL-based personalization policies. - Conduct literature surveys, identify research gaps, and formulate hypotheses and experimental plans aligned to the PersonalLLM research agenda. - Build and maintain research codebases for training, fine-tuning, compression, and on-device inference of LLMs; reproduce baselines and benchmark against them. - Design and run rigorous experiments (ablations, statistical significance, privacy-leakage measurement) and document findings in internal technical reports and publications. - Prototype on-device inference pipelines (quantization, KV-cache management, speculative/adaptive decoding, early-exit, hardware-aware scheduling) and profile latency, memory, and energy on edge hardware.



- Develop privacy-preserving user-state representations (preference embeddings, user latent vectors, skill representations) and memory-consolidation mechanisms that discard raw interactions. - Implement reinforcement-learning controllers for personalization policies (when to retrieve, reason longer, self-reflect, or update user representations) under cost/energy/privacy budgets. - Collaborate with cross-functional engineering, product, and hardware teams to transition research prototypes into production-grade features.

Responsibilities

Define the multi-year research roadmap for personal LLMs, aligning it with Samsung's device-intelligence vision and the evolving PersonalLLM agenda.
Own end-to-end delivery of research objectives from problem framing and hypothesis design through prototyping, on-device validation, and production hand-off.
Bridge the AS-IS → TO-BE transition: move the organization beyond distillation/pruning/quantizatio
