Job description

Job Description
We have an exciting opportunity for an AI Research Engineer atUL Research Institutes, within our Digital Safety Research Institute (DSRI). This is a REMOTE opportunity
The AI Research Engineer advances Digital Safety mission by designing, developing, and evaluating advanced artificial intelligence (AI) safety assessment systems, with a focus on large language models (LLMs), natural language processing (NLP) safety. This role contributes to the development of rigorous evaluation methodologies, scalable assessment capabilities, and research-driven insights that improve the safety assessments of frontier AI systems.
UL Research Institutes:
At UL Research Institutes (ULRI), we expand the boundaries of safety science to create a more secure and sustainable world. For more than a century, we have studied the unintended consequences of innovation, designed solutions to mitigate risk and shared our findings with academia, scientists, manufacturers, and policymakers across industries. We identify critical safety and sustainability issues, asking tough questions because we believe a safer world begins with knowledge.
Build a safer, more secure, and sustainable future with us. Join us and work with our Fire Safety teams who conduct the research required to produce that knowledge and put it into practice.
Digital Safety Research Institute:
The Digital Safety Research Institute (DSRI) addresses unresolved safety risks and emerging dangers in the world's digital ecosystem. We aim to help protect people from unwanted access to personal devices and privacy, algorithms, and disinformation threats by working to create a new digital safety ecosystem.
DSRI is committed to sharing digital safety insights, collaborating with key stakeholders, and offering extensive outreach and education to help support safer digital environments for people everywhere.
