Game artist Jobs in Richmond Hill, ON

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.
