TL;DR · Machine Learning Applied Researcher, Speech, Vision and Audio

JOB TITLE: Machine Learning Applied Researcher - Speech, Vision and Audio As a Machine Learning Applied Researcher - Speech, Vision and Audio, you will join a dynamic group to research and develop frontier deep learning models and algorithms. You will tackle high-risk, high-reward challenges by designing novel neural network architectures and implementing solutions for problems without obvious answers. Your daily work involves navigating ambiguous problem spaces, formulating hypotheses, and running experiments to improve model performance while managing deployment constraints like latency and memory. You will work with multimodal data including vision, audio, sensor, and text. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Pytorch and experience with self-supervised learning, synthetic data generation, large language model training, or automatic speech recognition. You will synthesize approaches from different fields to solve unique challenges in the field of ASR.

What you'll do

  • Research and develop cutting-edge deep learning models and algorithms using vision, audio, sensor, and text modalities.
  • Design and implement novel neural network architectures to solve unique challenges in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR).
  • Formulate hypotheses and run experiments to navigate ambiguous problem spaces and iterate toward solutions.
  • Improve model performance while optimizing for deployment constraints like latency, memory, and compute.
  • Translate research ideas into production-quality code for broad adoption across the organization.
  • Identify and apply new ideas from frontier machine learning literature to current projects.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience in academic or industry research.
  • Experience working with Pytorch.
  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 10+ years of relevant industry experience (preferred).
  • Strong foundation in deep learning theory and hands-on experience training large-scale models (preferred).
  • Deep knowledge in self-supervised learning, synthetic data generation, LLM training, or automatic speech recognition (preferred).
  • Experience working with multimodal data such as images, audio, time-series, or sensor fusion (preferred).
  • Publication record at top-tier ML venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, Interspeech, or ICASSP (preferred).
