• Contribute to the design of the AI reasoning layer that interprets simulation outputs and translates them into learner-friendly explanations.

2. Simulation Lab Intelligence

• Work with the ML team to integrate LLMs with the Simulation Lab; enabling the system to read experiment variables, predict outcomes, and explain results dynamically.
• Create evaluation loops that compare student actions against expected results and generate personalized feedback through the tutor.
• Support the underlying ML logic for physics-based prediction and real-time data flow between lab modules and the tutor layer.

3. Model Integration & Optimization

• Fine-tune, evaluate, and deploy LLMs or smaller domain models that serve specific platform functions.
• Design retrieval and grounding workflows so that all model outputs reference the correct textbook or course material.
• Optimize performance, latency, and scalability for high-traffic, interactive learning environments.

4. Collaboration & Research

• Partner with Prompt Engineers to ensure reasoning consistency across tutoring and simulations.
• Work with Product and Education teams to define use cases that align AI behavior with learning goals.
• Stay updated with new model capabilities and research advancements in RAG, tool use, and multi-modal learning systems.

5. Data & Infrastructure

• Maintain robust data pipelines for model inputs (textbooks, transcripts, lab data) and evaluation sets.
• Ensure privacy-safe data handling and continuous model performance tracking.
• Deploy and monitor AI workloads using cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).etc.

Soft Skills:

• Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities.
• Eagerness to learn, innovate and deliver impactful results.
