Senior Research Scientist

We are looking for a Research Scientist to work on NVIDIA Nemotron models. Our team works on core AI research, spanning from pretraining to post-training and agentic workflows. You will research and test new methods to make the models more capable, efficient, reliable, and adaptable. The role is research-oriented and is suitable for strong candidates after graduation, as well as candidates with prior research experience. The candidate will develop new methods, validate them through experiments, and help translate strong research ideas into practical NVIDIA AI systems.

What You'll Be Doing

• Develop new methods for efficient Nemotron model training, reasoning, retrieval and agentic learning.
• Design, run, and analyze experiments on modern deep learning systems.
• Collaborate with research and engineering teams across NVIDIA.
• Publish high-quality research and help translate strong research ideas into practical NVIDIA AI systems.
• Contribute to NVIDIA’s broader AI research strategy.
  
  

What We Need To See

• PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent research experience.
• At least 2 years of LLM research experience
• Publications in top-tier ML/AI conferences or journals.
• Strong Python skills and experience with modern deep learning frameworks. A track record of high-quality research or impactful applied research.
• Ability to design experiments, analyze results, and communicate technical ideas clearly.
  
  

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Experience improving large language models, including through continual learning, efficient training (Quantization), reasoning, retrieval, or model compression.
• Strong mathematical background with the ability to connect theory and practice.
• Experience running deep learning training and inference experiments at scale.
• Experience translating research into real systems or products.
