Huawei Canada has an immediate permanent opening for a Researcher.
About the team:
The Web Technology Lab focuses on two areas of next-generation web technology: Web Rendering and Web Agents. Web Rendering explores the Chromium rendering architecture, including the development of concurrent web layout systems and the use of vertical integration opportunities to optimize performance and user experience. Web Agents explores how AI agents understand websites, leverage web capabilities, and complete tasks for users. This includes browser-native agents and emerging technologies such as WebMCP, helping evolve the web from a space primarily designed for people to browse and interact with into one where people and AI agents can work together. Together, these efforts aim to make the web more efficient to render and easier for both people and AI agents to use.
About the job:
Research how state-of-the-art web agents (browser-use, computer-use, MCP-based agents) interact with real-world websites — identifying failure modes, reliability gaps, and capability ceilings.
Study how different web tech stacks affect agent performance, and define design patterns that make sites more agent-friendly.
Investigate how LLMs perceive and reason about web content (HTML, rendered DOM, screenshots, accessibility trees) and which representations are most effective for different tasks.
Prototype new architectures, interaction models, and agent frameworks to empirically test hypotheses and bridge Web capabilities with AI-driven Agents.
The total target annual compensation (based on 2,080 hours per year) ranges from $106,000 to $156,000 depending on education, experience, and demonstrated expertise.
