GE Aerospace Research - Knowledge Discovery & High Assurance Systems Fellow Intern

GE Renewable Energy Power and Aviation
Schenectady, NY
Job Description Summary

Job Description

The Knowledge Discovery & High Assurance Systems organization is seeking PhD student interns to advance research and prototyping at the intersection of large language models (LLMs), natural language processing (NLP), vision-language models (VLMs), and knowledge graphs. Interns will help design, implement, and evaluate models and systems that combine unstructured text, visual data, and structured knowledge to deliver trustworthy, high-impact AI capabilities for the aerospace industry.

Role Overview
  • Contribute to research on multimodal reasoning, retrieval-augmented generation, and grounding LLMs with knowledge graphs
  • Build end-to-end prototypes: data pipelines, model training/fine-tuning, evaluation, and front-end demos
  • Collaborate with researchers and engineers to translate research into production-ready components
Key Responsibilities
  • Design, implement, and evaluate LLM/NLP/VLM models (pretraining, fine-tuning, instruction tuning as appropriate)
  • Develop and integrate knowledge graphs for reasoning, validation, and explainability (entity/relation extraction, ontology alignment, graph embeddings)
  • Build retrieval-augmented and tool-augmented systems (RAG, function/tool calling, agents) with robust evaluation
  • Create data pipelines for multimodal datasets (curation, augmentation, labeling) and enforce data quality standards
  • Implement benchmarking and evaluation frameworks (task metrics, bias/robustness checks, human-in-the-loop reviews)
  • Develop interactive demos and internal tools using modern web stacks (React, Node.js) to showcase capabilities
  • Write clean, well-tested code; document methods and results; contribute to publications, tech reports, and research artifacts
Required Qualifications
  • Currently enrollment in a PhD program in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, AI/ML, or related field
  • Permanent legal authorization to work in the US is required. This role is restricted to U.S. persons. GE will require proof of status prior to employment.
  • Must be willing to work from the GE Aerospace Research office in Niskayuna, NY.
  • Minimum GPA 3.0 / 4.0 scale
Desired Characteristics
  • Research experience in at least one of: LLMs, NLP, vision-language/multimodal learning, or knowledge graphs
  • Strong programming skills in Python and JavaScript
  • Hands-on experience with modern AI/ML frameworks and tooling: PyTorch, TensorFlow/JAX, Hugging Face ecosystem (Transformers, Datasets, PEFT), OpenAI/Anthropic/Vertex AI SDKs
  • Vector databases and retrieval tooling, LangChain/LlamaIndex
  • Data and experiment, Docker, Git
  • Front-end and back-end development skills: React and Node.js
  • Solid understanding of ML fundamentals: optimization, evaluation metrics, overfitting/regularization, data leakage prevention
  • Publications or preprints in top venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, CVPR, ICCV)
Experience with:
  • Multimodal fusion and grounding; VLMs (e.g., LLaVA)
  • Knowledge graph construction and query (RDF/OWL, SPARQL, Neo4j), graph learning (PyG, DGL)
  • Prompt engineering, function/tool use, and agentic workflows
  • RAG evaluation (faithfulness, grounding, hallucination detection) and safety alignment
  • MLOps for research: reproducible pipelines, CI/CD, containerization
  • Familiarity with security, privacy, and compliance considerations for AI systems
Success Indicators :
  • Demonstrated improvement on benchmark tasks
  • High-quality prototypes and demos
  • Clear, reproducible research artifacts (papers, code, datasets, and documentation)
  • Effective collaboration and communication across research and engineering
The pay range for this position is $1,000-$2,000 USD weekly. The specific weekly rate offered to a candidate may be influenced by a variety of factors including the candidate's experience, their education, and the work location. GE provides travel reimbursement and housing stipend for qualified interns.
