Responsibilities
At Intel, our journey is to transform AI into something safer, more trustworthy, and respectful of human privacy by design.
We believe transformative AI should have a positive impact on people—powerful in capability, yet honest about its limits and protective of the data and resources it touches.
To get there, we build agentic AI that combines the best of local and cloud intelligence — private, affordable, and sustainable by design.
Small, efficient models run directly on the user's machine (AI PC, edge, on-prem, and beyond), keeping data private and token costs low, while powerful cloud models handle the hardest work: planning, reasoning, and complex problem-solving.
Together, they give people real capability without compromise—data stays private, spend stays predictable, and energy use stays in check.
We are seeking a **Machine Learning Engineer / Data Scientist** to join our team, working on agent harness research and model fine tuning.
