We believe that digital transformation is essential to creating a more sustainable future. That's why we are working with our customers to develop solutions that can help them reduce their environmental impact, improve their efficiency, and create a more equitable society.\nWe are committed to contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals are a blueprint for a better future for all, and we believe that technology can play a vital role in achieving them.\nIf you share our passion for making a meaningful impact on the world, we invite you to join our global family of 130,000 employees spanning more than 50 countries. We are a diverse workforce, and we offer a wide range of opportunities for you to grow and develop your career.\nTogether, we can create a more sustainable future for all.\nResearcher in Self-Improving Machine Learning\nWe are seeking creative and intellectually ambitious researchers to join our multidisciplinary Self-Improving ML team in Silicon Valley.\nOur goal is to develop AI systems that can improve how AI itself is built. We study fundamental questions at the intersection of learning, generalization, data, and automated discovery:\nWhat determines whether a model generalizes beyond its training data?\n\nHow can an AI system identify or generate the data it needs to improve?\n\nCan we automate the creation of new models, learning algorithms, and research ideas?\n\nOur team brings together researchers from different disciplines like math, neuroscience, physics and computer science. Rather than expecting everyone to fit the same profile, we look for people who can contribute a strong perspective while collaborating across disciplines.\nThis role is particularly suited to researchers who enjoy pursuing deep, open-ended questions, building and testing unconventional ideas, and translating fundamental research into working AI systems.\nResponsibilities\nResearchers have substantial freedom to develop new directions based on their interests and the evolving needs of the program. These are some exaples of possible research directions:\nDevelop and prototype algorithms that enable AI systems to improve their models, learning strategies, data, or problem-solving processes.\n\nInvestigate the relationship between training data and generalization, including methods for automatically selecting, generating, or refining data.\n\nExplore approaches for automating elements of creativity, scientific discovery, and ML research.\n\nDesign rigorous experiments to evaluate novel hypotheses and understand why methods succeed or fail.\n\nEssential Qualifications\nPhD, or near completion of a PhD, in machine learning, computer science, neuroscience, mathematics, statistics, physics, or a related field.\n\nA demonstrated ability to develop original ideas or substantially improve existing methods, as shown through research publications, projects, or comparable accomplishments.\n\nStrong interest in fundamental questions involving learning, generalization, data, automated discovery, or self-improving systems.\n\nAbility to independently formulate and pursue a research direction and carry a long-term project from hypothesis to experimental validation.\n\nExperience with at least one deep-learning framework, such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.\n\nStrong collaboration skills and enthusiasm for working with researchers from different technical backgrounds.\n\nAbility to communicate research ideas clearly and translate them into well-designed experiments and reliable implementations.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience conducting interdisciplinary research.\n\nExpertise that complements conventional ML research, such as neuroscience, mathematics, statistics, physics, optimization, or automated scientific discovery.\n\nExperience developing high-performance implementations of deep-learning algorithms.\n\nExperience with large-scale experimentation or distributed training and inference.\n\nExperience mentoring researchers, students, or engineers.\n\nFujitsu salaries are aligned to the specific geographic location in which the work is primarily performed. It is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role and compensation decisions are dependent on the circumstances of each situation. The pay range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to: specific skills, qualifications, experience, and comparison to other employees already in this role. The pay range for this position is estimated at $133,280 to $190,400 USD. Additionally, this role may be eligible for a short-term incentive based on company results and individual performance.\nAs a technology company, Fujitsu recognizes that human resources are its most important capital. To create an environment where all employees can work positively and healthily, both in mind and body, we offer a full range of health, 401K, and other benefits.\n#Americas_Priority\nAt Fujitsu, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and respected.
