- Experience with LLMs, VLMs, or generative models.
- Familiarity with MLOps tools such as Ray, MLflow, Neptune.ai, CometML, Weights & Biases, or Airflow.
- Knowledge of vector databases or retrieval systems.
- Coursework, projects, or research in geometry processing, CAD data, or physics-heavy fields.
- Experience benchmarking models and analyzing failure modes.
- Strong problem-solving ability and a collaborative mindset.
Location & details#
- Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
- Term: Winter 2027 (16 weeks, January 4th to April 23rd).
