About Fabrex

Fabrex is redefining the manufacturing sector through cutting-edge SaaS solutions, focusing on Sales and Post-Sales, Production Planning, and Management and Operations. Headquartered in Lleida, our platform helps factories transition smoothly into the digital age by offering flexible, secure, and customizable solutions tailored to business needs.


About the Role

We are looking for a PhD Researcher to join our R&D / Product team and work at the intersection of generative AI and real-world industrial automation. This is a unique opportunity to apply cutting-edge research to tangible manufacturing challenges — where determinism, reliability, and safety truly matter.


You will lead research initiatives around generative AI applied to industrial process configuration and optimization, develop capabilities that allow non-technical customers to create their own custom applications within the Fabrex platform, and explore the use of Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) for robotic automation in real factory environments.


What You'll Do

  • Research and develop generative AI solutions for automatic configuration and optimization of industrial processes within Fabrex.app
  • Design ML/DL architectures that meet the determinism and reliability requirements of industrial environments
  • Develop custom app generation capabilities so non-technical users can create and configure their own solutions using generative AI
  • Explore and prototype Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) for robotic automation in real manufacturing settings
  • Evaluate and select foundational models (LLMs, VLMs) for integration into the product
  • Define and execute experiments to validate product hypotheses related to AI applied to industry
  • Build robust ML/DL pipelines: from training and validation to production deployment with monitoring
  • Collaborate with the Product team to translate research breakthroughs into the Fabrex.app roadmap
  • Contribute to the company's intellectual property: patents, applied papers, technical documentation
  • Stay current with the state of the art in generative AI, robotics, and industrial automation


Requisitos
    Requirements
  •  PhD in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
  • Proven experience in software development and AI systems (Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, MLOps
  • Deep knowledge of applied generative AI: LLMs, code generation, autonomous agents
  • Interest and/or experience in industrial process automation and manufacturing environments
  • Understanding of the determinism, reliability, and safety requirements of industrial settings
  • Experience or demonstrable interest in robotics, Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs), and perception-action systems
  • Familiarity with production ML/DL pipelines: training, validation, deployment, and monitoring
  • Ability to translate cutting-edge research into applied, scalable solutions
  • High level of English (reading, scientific writing, and communication)

Nice to Have

  • Publications in relevant conferences or journals (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ICRA, CoRL, or similar)
  • Experience with MLOps tools: experiment tracking (W&B, MLflow), model registry, CI/CD for ML
  • Hands-on experience with robotic systems or simulation environments
