Staff Engineer - AI Engineering

Job Description SummaryGE Vernova is seeking a highly skilled AI Engineer to design, develop, and deploy advanced autonomous AI agents leveraging LLMs and advanced AI/ML techniques. The ideal candidate will build intelligent Agents capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting within complex digital or real-world environments, integrating AI models into scalable applications that solve real-world business challenges autonomously.

Responsible for departmental operations planning/execution or is focused on execution of professional activities within a technical discipline. Functions with some autonomy but guided by established policies or review of end results.
The job allows modification of procedures and practices covering work as long as the end results meet standards of acceptability (quality, volume, timeliness etc.).Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and optimize AI Agents using LLMs, reinforcement learning, planning algorithms, and decision-making frameworks.
• Develop scalable multi AI Agent architectures supporting long horizon reasoning, autonomy, planning, interaction, and complex task completion.
• Integrate AI Agents with APIs, backend services, databases, and enterprise applications.
• Prototype, deploy, and maintain AI-driven systems ensuring reliability and performance in production environments.
• Optimize agent behavior through continuous feedback, reinforcement learning, and user interaction.
• Collaborate closely with research, engineering, product, and deployment teams to iterate on agent capabilities and innovate continuously.
• Monitor AI Agent performance, conduct rigorous evaluations, implement safety guardrails, and ensure ethical AI practices.
• Document AI Agent architectures, design decisions, workflows, and maintain comprehensive technical documentation.
• Stay current with emerging AI technologies, contribute to platform and tooling improvements, and share knowledge within the team.
• Your mission is to push the boundaries of planning, reasoning, and agentic intelligence. You will design and implement large-scale AI/ML solutions integrating the latest state of the art research in our global products

Core Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in Python and/or languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, or Java, Go, with strong coding and software engineering practices.
