Search Staffing Services Pte Ltd Hiring! Full Time Research Scientist (AutoResearch on LLM) in Southeast (Singapore), Earn up to SGD 20,000 - Ricebowl

Our client is a Singapore-based automotive tech company, building AI-powered computing platforms for software-defined vehicles. They specialize in intelligent cockpit systems and autonomous driving computation, combining custom automotive SoCs with advanced software to help automakers deliver safer, smarter, more personalized in-car experiences.

Research Scientist

Role Overview:
As a Research Scientist (AutoResearch on LLM), you will focus on cutting edge AI-Driven AI development using Autoresearch(Automated Machine Learning) for Large Language Models (LLM). You will design and deploy automated research frameworks that autonomously discover. optimize, and train the next-generation LLM architectures. You will bridge the gap between hardware constraints and model design ensuring that the automatically optimized architectures achieve or exceed the pre-training efficiency and downstream performance of state of the art established base models

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, build and scale automated search and optimization systems (Such as Neural Architecture Search, evolutionary algorithms, or LLM-driven research agents) to autonomously discover optimal LLM architectures
• Analyze and integrate hardware level constraints (e.g. tensor parallel limits, memory bandwidths, latency, cache hierarchies, FLOPs, and energy efficiency of target silicon) into the optimization loop
• Scale up discovered architectures to perform large-scale pre-training. Ensure the final models meet to exceed the performance, training efficiency, and convergence rate of existing top-tier foundation models
• Develop accurate, cost effective proxy task, evaluation protocols, and scaling laws to predict full-scale LLM performance from early-stage automated search limits
• Collaborate closely with chip architects, system/compiler engineers, and foundation model researchers to co-optimize hardware execution efficiency and model training algorithms
• Stay at the forefront of AutoML, hardware-software co-design, and LLM pre-training literature, contributing to peer-reviewed publications and IP generation where applicable

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Master's or PhD degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative field with a focus on Deep Learning
• Strong research background in LLM pre-training, Transformer architectures, and scaling dynamics
• Hands-on experience with AutoResearch, AutoML, automated optimization algorithms, or using AI agents/LLMs for automated scientific discovery
• Solid understanding of GPU/accelerator architectures, memory hierarchies, parallel training strategies(tensor, pipeline, data parallel) and hardware performance profiling
• Production grade coding skills in Python and deep learning frameworks (e.g. Pytorch, JAX, Megatron-LM, Deepspeed).
• Demonstrated experience in training, scaling and evaluating large scaling models from scratch
• Having first author publications in top tier machine learning or system conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ASPLOS, ISCA, MLSys) is preferred
• Experience writing custom kernels (e.g. Triton, CUDA) or working with machine learning compilers are preferred
• Direct experience working with silicon/chip design teams to customize model architectures for specific ASIC/GPU/FPGA constraints.
• Experience building self improving AI Loops or automated coding research assistants
