Votre mission The ISIA Lab at the University of Mons is seeking a junior research engineer to build agentic systems for process automation and conversational AI for interactive systems. The work involves designing, implementing, and evaluating systems using large language models (LLMs), in collaboration with a motivated team whose skills complement yours. Sevel projects in our Lab take place in the context of extended reality (XR). You may therefore need to work with tools such as Unity or Unreal Engine. Prior experience with either engine is not required, but you must be willing to learn the tools needed for the work. The focus of the role remains agentic systems and conversational AI. Vos responsabilités
• Develop and evaluate agentic systems that can support or automate processes.
• Build conversational AI capabilities for interactive applications.
• Turn research ideas into working prototypes and improve them through experimentation.
• Solve technical problems independently while collaborating with the wider team.
• Learn new methods and tools as project needs evolve.
