- Develop prompt engineering, structured generation, tool calling, and context-management strategies.
- Evaluate, adapt, and fine-tune language models to improve performance on domain-specific tasks.

2. RAG, Semantic Search and Information Retrieval

- Design and optimize end-to-end RAG pipelines for large-scale patent and technical document collections.
- Develop document ingestion, parsing, chunking, embedding generation, vector search, hybrid retrieval, reranking, and answer-generation workflows.
- Improve search relevance and contextual accuracy for complex patent and technical queries.
- Build intelligent retrieval systems for prior-art discovery, patent similarity, claim analysis, and technology landscape research.
- Implement retrieval evaluation and grounded-answer validation to minimize irrelevant results and LLM hallucinations.

3. Agentic AI and MCP Integration

- Build AI agents and multi-agent workflows for autonomous research, information retrieval, analysis, and task execution.
- Develop agent orchestration using frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, or equivalent technologies.
- Implement Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and tool integrations to connect AI systems with search engines, databases, APIs, and enterprise services.
- Design reliable tool-use workflows with appropriate validation, error handling, access controls, and human approval mechanisms.
- Optimize agent planning, context management, task completion, and execution reliability.

4. NLP and Patent Document Intelligence

- Develop NLP and deep learning solutions for patent classification, entity extraction, technical concept identification, and document similarity.
- Build intelligent workflows for analyzing patent claims, abstracts, descriptions, and technical literature.
- Develop AI-driven patent categorization, novelty search, landscape analysis, and automated reporting capabilities.
- Process and analyze large volumes of structured and unstructured documents.
- Apply transformer models, embeddings, and other relevant techniques to improve document understanding and information discovery.

5. Model Training, Evaluation and Optimization

- Fine-tune or post-train foundation models using suitable techniques such as supervised fine-tuning, LoRA, or preference optimization where appropriate.
- Develop systematic evaluation frameworks for retrieval quality, answer faithfulness, classification performance, and agent reliability.
- Optimize inference latency, throughput, token consumption, GPU utilization,



and serving costs.
- Evaluate model performance through offline benchmarks, production monitoring, and feedback-driven improvements.
- Apply caching, batching, quantization, context compression, and model routing where appropriate.

6. AI Deployment and Production Engineering

- Develop scalable AI services and REST APIs using Python and FastAPI or equivalent frameworks.
- Deploy AI applications on cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP, using services including AWS Bedrock and Google Cloud Vertex AI where appropriate.
- Containerize and deploy services using Docker and relevant orchestration technologies.
- Integrate AI pipelines with vector databases, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and other data systems.
- Implement monitoring, logging, version control, automated testing, CI/CD, and model lifecycle management.
- Ensure AI systems are reliable, secure, maintainable, and suitable for enterprise use.

7. Technical Ownership and Collaboration

- Take ownership of AI features from requirement analysis and prototyping through implementation, deployment, and continuous improvement.
- Collaborate with backend engineers, product teams, and other technical stakeholders to integrate AI capabilities into the platform.
