Research Scientist, Networking Research - PhD New College Grad 2026 joins the Research team to design networks optimized for AI systems and develop innovative architectures for high-performance interconnects and large-scale distributed AI systems. The role involves creating mechanisms for network decision-making in GPU clusters, including AI/ML-based approaches for routing, traffic engineering, congestion control, scheduling, topology design, and telemetry-driven control loops. Candidates will prototype ideas through simulation or analytical modeling to produce patents, publications, and long-term technology visions. Required expertise includes computer architecture, communication systems for distributed computation, and applying machine learning—specifically reinforcement learning, graph learning, and optimization—to networking problems. Preferred technical skills include C++, Python, and hardware description languages or HLS. The work focuses on solving performance, scalability, and efficiency challenges within the domain of next-generation computing platforms and AI infrastructure.
