Our Objectives
Boeing Korea Engineering and Technology Center (BKETC) is seeking a highly skilled and motivated AI/ML Researcher (Multimodal) to join our cutting-edge research team. This role focuses on advancing core multimodal capabilities by integrating vision, language, and other modalities, while ensuring that research outcomes are transferable to stable, enterprise-grade production systems. While our current focus includes multimodal and vision-language technologies, this role is fundamentally about using AI to solve complex problems and growing with evolving models, data modalities, and system requirements. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with multimodal models or systems, deep expertise in at least one core AI domain (CV or NLP), and the ability to bridge research and production deployment.
Job Responsibilities:
- Develop AI-based solutions to solve complex, real-world problems using appropriate models and data modalities
- Formulate problems, design approaches, and evaluate solutions from an end-to-end AI system perspective
- Research, implement, and adapt state-of-the-art AI models (not limited to a specific modality)
- Build and validate scalable AI pipelines, from data processing to model inference
- Apply AI technologies—including but not limited to multimodal, CV, and NLP methods—based on problem requirements
- Translate research ideas into robust, production-ready systems
- Collaborate with engineering and product teams to deploy and maintain AI solutions
- Continuously learn and adopt emerging AI techniques and paradigms
Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
- Bachelor degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement.”
- Applicants must have in-depth knowledge in machine learning/Deep Learning
- Hands-on experience with multimodal models or systems (e.g., vision-language models, document understanding systems, multimodal IE(Information Extraction))
- Broad understanding of how multiple modalities interact and are jointly modeled
- Proven expertise in at least one core domain:
- Computer Vision: Object detection/recognition, OCR(Optical Character Recognition), etc.
- Natural Language Processing: Information extraction, retrieval, RAG, LLM-based systems
- Solid software engineering skills with experience building production systems
- Strong programming skills in Python and experience with at least one major framework: PyTorch or TensorFlow
- Experience deploying models beyond notebooks – APIs, services, edge devices or embedded systems
- Ability to read, understand, and implement ideas from research papers
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to learn independently
- Proper verbal and written English communication skills
Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):
- Bachelor’s degree with at least three years of work experience
- Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, Data Science
- Ph.D. degree with at least two years of work experience in Engineering, Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field
- Experience in manufacturing, industrial automation, robotics or quality inspection system
- Deep specialization in one domain, such as document AI, RAG, Information Extraction, Vision-language models, etc.
- Good to have at least an intermediate level of knowledge in server engineering like resource management on multi-GPUs over multiple servers
- Good to have at least an intermediate level of knowledge in aviation and commercial flight operation
- Nice to have winning experience in machine learning or data science competition challenges
- Nice to have publication records in top-tier machine learning or computer vision conferences
