Within the Agorai Innovation Hub we are looking for a talented and proactive resource, who will work directly with the AI Architect and Head of Technology, and in close collaboration with external engineering partners.
We are building the intelligence layer for autonomous and semi‑autonomous systems operating in complex industrial environments. Robotics execution is handled by a partner — the researcher’s job is to make those systems smarter: multi‑agent coordination, adaptive decision‑making, collective behavior that emerges from local rules. The research direction includes swarm intelligence applied to real industrial problems, not simulations.
This role is fundamentally about integration — between research and reality, between AI systems and physical infrastructure, and between your work and the engineering teams who own the hardware. You will need to earn technical credibility through the quality of your ideas and the reliability of your implementations.
Key responsibilities of the role will include:




- Research and prototype multi‑agent and collective intelligence approaches applicable to industrial automation — from simulation to integration with real systems
- Build the intelligence and coordination layer that interfaces with physical systems and robotic infrastructure — you do not own the hardware, but you need to understand how to talk to it reliably
- Design rigorous experiments that validate behavior at the system level, not just the component level — emergent properties require emergent evaluation
- Integrate your AI systems with external engineering teams’ stacks — this means clean interfaces, honest contracts, and the ability to debug across boundaries you do not fully control
- Define evaluation frameworks for collective and adaptive behavior: what does it mean for the system to be working, and how do you know when it is degrading
- Stay current with the research frontier in multi‑agent systems, swarm intelligence, and autonomous systems — and bring ba
