Job Summary We are seeking a talented and forward-thinking AI Engineer (Spatial Intelligence) to bridge the gap between physical environment sensing and on-device Personal Intelligence. In this role, you will develop the critical foundation models that allow consumer devices to understand their physical surroundings and retrieve relevant local data. You will be at the forefront of building the next generation of maps, entirely powered by edge-AI. Key Responsibilities: • Foundation Models Optimization: Deploy and fine-tune multimodal models for consumer-grade edge hardware and highly specialized use cases. • Spatial Systems: Build prototypes to translate geospatial data into structured formats optimized for LLM reasoning. • Vector Search: Design high-performance data retrieval solutions optimized for distributed spatial and geographic data. • Thematic Mapping: Create data pipelines to enrich traditional mapping systems with real-time semantic context. • Demo Development: Produce fully functional solution to demonstrate viability of concepts or new model abilities. This job description is only an outline of the tasks, responsibilities and outcomes required of the role. The jobholder will carry out any other duties as may be reasonably required by his/her line manager. The job description and personal specification may be reviewed on an ongoing basis in accordance with the changing needs of Huawei Research and Development UK Limited. Person Specification: Required Skills & Qualifications: • AI & Machine Learning: Strong experience working with LLMs, foundation models, or multimodal AI architectures. • Data Experience: Solid understanding of geospatial data, vector embeddings, or semantic search. • Edge Computing: Familiarity with running models under local hardware constraints (e.g., ONNX, TensorRT, CoreML). • Programming Proficiency: Advanced skills in orchestration frameworks such as: Pydantic AI, AutoGen, or LangGraph. • Education: Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Responsibilities

Develop foundation models for consumer devices to understand physical surroundings and retrieve local spatial data. Optimize multimodal models for edge hardware and build high-performance vector search solutions for geographic data.
