Toronto’s AI Lab is seeking a Lead Agentic AI Researcher to drive the development and application of agentic AI systems across LG Electronics’ global product portfolio. This role will lead research efforts focused on enabling self-learning, autonomous, and personalized AI agents that power next-generation LG products, including smart home platforms, connected appliances, and future intelligent devices.

As a technical leader, you will define research direction and architecture for agentic AI capabilities such as lifelong learning, hierarchical memory, autonomous planning, and personalized inference. You will work at the intersection of advanced research and real-world deployment, ensuring that novel agentic AI concepts are designed with scalability, reliability, and product impact in mind.

In close collaboration with engineers, product teams, and external research partners, you will translate research breakthroughs into production-grade prototypes and scalable systems. Your work will help establish agentic AI as a core intelligence layer across LG’s product ecosystem, ultimately shaping how millions of users interact with intelligent devices worldwide.

• Lead research on continual learning agents with explicit skill libraries/tools and curriculum/goal discovery.
• Thrive in a fast-paced, technically challenging environment, where you can contribute your innovative ideas and solutions.
• Design self-learning agent systems for lifelong skill acquisition/evolution; establish novel reward functions for agentic task completion quality and long-horizon consistency.
• Develop personalized inference control via activation steering or persona vectors; research dynamic persona alignment ensuring user compatibility and enterprise safety.
• Architect unified Agent–User–Memory frameworks integrating memory agents, user modeling (probabilistic embeddings, belief states), and orchestration layers for proactive personalization.
• Lead university collaborations, co-author papers targeting A* conferences.
• Translate research into production-grade prototypes.
• Establish research baselines and evaluation protocols for long-context reasoning, test-time planning, memory utility, and skill retention; harden against overfitting and distribution shift.
• Enjoy tuning and optimizing large multimodal models and have experience building evaluations to measure their performance.
