Research Engineer I (Computer Science / Artificial Intelligence / Software Engineering / Information Systems)

ATMRI at NTU is seeking a Research Engineer I to join the Digital ATCO Assistant project. The role focuses on developing intelligent assistants for air traffic management by integrating LLMs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, AI agents, operational data, and user-facing applications.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and integrate AI-enabled applications for the Digital ATCO Assistant project. Build end-to-end systems that combine LLMs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, AI agents, tool calling, workflow orchestration, and operational data sources. Integrate AI components with existing enterprise systems through APIs, databases, authentication mechanisms, and message-based services.

Develop backend services, user interfaces, and system connectors for prototypes and pilot deployments. Implement evaluation, logging, monitoring, traceability, and feedback mechanisms for AI-assisted workflows. Work with domain experts and controllers to convert operational use cases into system requirements and test scenarios.

Support system testing, demonstration, technical documentation, and deployment activities. Contribute to technical reports, project proposals, publications, and collaboration with academic, industry, and regulatory partners.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field. At least one year of relevant experience in software engineering, systems integration, AI application development, or enterprise technology delivery. Strong experience with Python, backend development, APIs, databases, and system integration.

Experience developing or integrating LLM applications, RAG systems, AI agents, or agent orchestration workflows. Ability to develop reliable end-to-end prototypes rather than standalone AI models. Good communication skills and ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams. Experience or interest in aviation, air traffic management, human-AI teaming, or safety-critical AI applications is an advantage.
