Huawei Canada has an immediate permanent opening for a Researcher.
About the team:
The Distributed Data Storage and Management Lab leads research in distributed data systems, aiming to develop next-generation cloud serverless products that encompass core infrastructure and databases. This lab addresses various data challenges, including cloud-native disaggregated databases, pay-by-query user models, and optimizing low-level data transfers via RDMA. Teams within this lab create advanced cloud serverless data infrastructure and implement cutting-edge networking technologies for Huawei's global AI infrastructure.
About the job:
Design and develop advanced Agentic Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) algorithms for cooperative, competitive, and mixed-agent environments, including CTDE, decentralized learning, and hierarchical agent systems.
Build scalable simulation and training platforms for large-scale agent systems, supporting self-play, population-based training, curriculum learning, and emergent behavior analysis.
Optimize multi-agent learning performance on distributed compute clusters, improving sample efficiency, credit assignment, agent coordination, communication learning, and training stability.
Research and prototype new approaches for multi-agent intelligence, including communication protocols, credit assignment, game-theoretic learning dynamics, meta-learning, and adaptive agent populations.
Translate cutting-edge research in agentic AI and MARL into production-ready systems for real-world or high-fidelity simulated environments.
Develop benchmarking frameworks and evaluation metrics for agent coordination, robustness, scalability, and safety.
Collaborate with research, infrastructure, and product teams to deploy scalable agentic learning systems in real-world applications.
Contribute to technical leadership and innovation through publications, patents, open-source contributions, and conference presentations.
The total target annual compensation for this position ranges from $106,000 to $156,000 depending on education, experience, and demonstrated expertise.
About the ideal candidate:
MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a focus on Reinforcement Learning, Multi-Agent Systems, Agentic AI, or Distributed AI.
Strong expertise in reinforcement learning algorithms, particularly in multi-agent settings (e.g., policy gradients, value-based methods, CTDE, credit assignment, and coordination in non-stationary environments).
Solid foundations in optimization, probability, and game theory, with the ability to design and analyze complex learning systems.
Experience building scalable RL training infrastructure, including distributed rollouts, large-scale simulation, and experiment pipelines.
Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++, with experience developing high-performance or distributed ML systems.
Demonstrated impact through research publications, open-source contributions, patents, or production ML systems in reinforcement learning, multi-agent learning, or large-scale AI systems.
