Junior R&D Engineer (GEN AI/ML)

Job Purpose: The Junior R&D Engineer supports the development of designs, prototypes, and implements tools, frameworks, and automation solutions that improve game testing and quality control workflows. Under guidance from the R&D Manager and senior engineers, the role translates validated ideas into functional components and integrations within the QC domain. IMPACT: • Develop and integrate automation tools, frameworks, and prototypes into existing testing systems, applying validated R&D concepts. • Build applied automation solutions across use cases including automation tests, engine-level utilities, and early AI/ML-driven tools, improving test efficiency and reducing manual effort. • Debug, troubleshoot, and refine R&D solutions, stabilizing functionality and increasing usability for QC teams. • Deliver iterative development outputs by incorporating feedback and aligning solutions with product and FQC requirements. • Document technical findings and learnings to strengthen knowledge continuity, reuse, and long-term maintainability. INNOVATION : • Evaluate new technical approaches, tools, and frameworks that enhances QA/QC automation, leveraging exposure to automation, engine tooling, and AI/ML concepts. • Propose improvements to existing automation systems, integrations, and workflows based on hands-on development and debugging experience. • Build functional components from exploratory prototypes, validating feasibility in real testing environments. • Analyse moderately complex, multi-dimensional problems, balancing technical feasibility, integration constraints, and QC usability under senior guidance. KNOWLEDGE : **Core Competencies** • Rapid learning agility and motivation to master new concepts • Analytical problem-solving with creative and structured approaches • Collaborative communication across cross-functional teams • Adaptability to evolving priorities and iterative workflows **Technical Competencies** • Foundational proficiency in Python for scripting and automation • Working understanding of AI/ML concepts and Gen-AI/RAG fundamentals • Knowledge of software development and testing lifecycles • Familiarity with debugging and troubleshooting techniques • Exposure to version control systems (e.g., Git) **Behavioral Competencies** • Intellectual curiosity and drive to explore emerging technologies • Proactive teamwork and willingness to collaborate across disciplines **Nice to Have:** • Exposure to C++ or C# programming • Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, TeamCity) B.E/BTech/MTech/MS Computer Science in computer science or equivalent.
