Research and Development Engineer in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence

A major generalist engineering school of IMT-Institut Mines-Télécom, the leading group of engineering schools in France, IMT Atlantique aims to support transitions, train responsible engineers, and leverage scientific and technical excellence for teaching, research, and innovation.

As part of the CARBURE project (DGA Rapid project conducted in partnership with the company eXO maKina), which aims to explain decision-making in the fight against image falsification using deep networks, we are recruiting a research and development engineer within our Data Science Department.

In collaboration with the project team and partner research teams, your main mission will be to develop a tool to support the analysis and explainability of image falsification. You will design an architecture based on specialized multimodal RAGs (related to the interpretation of the Tungstène software filters) and ensure their dynamic synthesis. You will also implement a standalone demonstrator (PoC) operating offline and will valorize this work by drafting technical deliverables and scientific publications.
