At Bombardier, we design, build and maintain the world’s peak-performing aircraft for the world’s most discerning people and businesses, governments and militaries. We have been successful in setting the highest standards by putting our people at the heart of it all, and defining excellence, together.

Working at Bombardier means operating at the highest level. Every day, you are part of a team that delivers superior experiences and products, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in our industry and beyond. By prioritizing employee growth and development, we empower everyone to reach their full potential on their own terms, because the best work happens when you are free to be yourself and share your unique expertise.

With our employees’ well-being top of mind, we offer a comprehensive and competitive Benefits Program, which includes the following:

• Insurance plans (Dental, medical, life insurance, disability, and more)
• Retirement savings plan
• Employee Assistance Program

• Lead and ensure applicable corporate implementation of improvements to retrieval quality: strengthen hybrid BM25 + dense retrieval, add robust metadata filtering, and implement/compare rerankers (cross-encoder or lightweight LLM-as-reranker) while iterating on existing BGE pipelines.
• Redesign chunking and indexing for PDFs (overlap/hierarchical, section-aware/semantic); build benchmarks to compare strategies; introduce dedup/versioning and maintain document lineage with structured citations.
• Expand evaluation beyond Recall@k (e.g., nDCG, MRR, Precision@k) and stand up a continuous evaluation pipeline with meaningful telemetry/logging (Open Telemetry is a plus).
• Advance OCR & document understanding: use Paddle
  
  OCR for scanned PDFs; evaluate advanced LLM-based OCR approaches (local/on‑prem only); expand table/diagram extraction and prepare for multimodal retrieval.
• Contribute to a modern frontend: help migrate from Streamlit to React/Next.js + Type Script (Node.js) with secure sign-in and PDF snippet highlighting.
• Strengthen security & platform foundations: implement access control with Azure AD (Entra ) or LDAP; work comfortably in Azure; uphold Canada-only data residency and no external calls in design and deployment.
• Elevate developer experience: drive reviews, testing, and CI/CD workflows with Git Actions.

You possess the experience and knowledge to guide evolution of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at the Corporate level through:

• Experience: Software engineer with 2+ years applied experience GenAI for search/RAG; strong Python and IR fundamentals (BM25, ANN/vector search, hybrid/fusion, reranking).
• Embeddings & reranking: Hands‑on with BGE (or similar) and lightweight tuning for embedders/rerankers; ability to build evaluation harnesses (offline metrics, curated sets, continuous runs).
• Docs & OCR: Practical PDF parsing;
  Paddle
  
  OCR; exposure to table/diagram extraction.
• Cloud & access control: Comfortable in Azure; familiarity with Azure AD or LDAP integration.
• Dev Ops: Git power‑user with CI/CD using Azure Devops git Actions.
• Nice to have: React/Next.js + Type Script (Node.js);
  Open Telemetry; query rewriting and LoRA/contrastive tuning; exposure to vector stores such as Qdrant, Milvus, Weaviate, pgvector (Chroma
  
  DB or equivalent also useful).
