Advanced AI Research Scientist Assoc Director

AI/ML Computational Science Associate Director | Senior Level | Full time

Accenture is helping companies use generative AI to reinvent their enterprise and optimize business functions for breakthrough innovation and competitive advantage. With over 1,600 professionals dedicated to generative AI, leveraging the depth and experience of more than 40,000 AI and data professionals across the company, our Generative AI and LLM Center of Excellence brings together our Experienced Innovation, Strategic Investment, Exceptional Talent, and Power Ecosystem.

You Are

As an Advanced AI Research Scientist Associate Director, you formulate real-world problems into practical, efficient, and scalable AI and Machine Learning problems. You lead teams and provide guidance to explore and implement new methodologies, model building techniques, and cutting-edge algorithms, applying these techniques with the right architecture to solve real-world problems.

You have a deep understanding and ability to remain at the forefront of generative AI, LLM, and multi-modal models, focusing on driving innovation by applying these techniques to new business problems, use cases, and scenarios. As needed by the specific problem, you train and/or fine-tune generative AI models and evaluate them on the specific problem.

As a significant part of this role, you will justify the value of innovative generative AI or traditional Machine Learning approaches (or a combination of both) in business problems, and you'll be expected to construct methodologies that clearly demonstrate their value. You will direct/influence research direction and set strategic research priorities for short-term and long-term workstreams.

You will work collaboratively with teams and leaders from both the business and technical side, including users, use case representatives, business owners, engineers, architects, and UI designers, to achieve end-to-end project development goals.

The Work

Participate in internal and external discussions to gather business use case requirements and provide on-the-spot AI expertise and AI solution options for business problems. Design, develop, and implement advanced AI/ML models, especially LLM and other Gen AI models from scratch or existing foundation models via self-supervised learning, transferred-learning, and fine-tuning techniques.

Design, develop, and implement highly sophisticated Gen AI-based applications including generative agents and similar architectures which support multiple Gen AI models to work together for complex tasks. Lead technical teams and grow true AI expertise within the broader team, including offshore.

Collaborate seamlessly with diverse, cross-functional teams to accurately identify and prioritize requirements, ensuring that the AI solutions meet the needs and expectations of various stakeholders. Develop and execute an AI solution project plan with team, timeline, and infrastructure dependency.

Define and implement a value justification approach to the AI solutions; estimate solution costs with the right technological choices; and calculate ROI. Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation that captures the intricate details of the solution, facilitating seamless understanding, knowledge
