Senior Applied Researcher, AI Agentic Systems
First seen by Alion on Apr 24, 2026. NVIDIA scores B on the Alion truth index.
We are in search of a top-tier AI Agents applied researcher to work closely with hardware architects and software developers to develop end-to-end agentic systems that drive significant enhancements in NVIDIA's products. Our team propels generative AI forward by building and deploying agentic systems that integrate innovative LLMs with domain tools to expedite HW and SW engineering workflows at scale.
What You'll Be Doing:
Build complex agentic systems featuring multi-agent coordination, long-horizon reasoning, and advanced planning frameworks.
Develop full-scale solutions, including domain-specific enterprise agents and high-performance retrieval pipelines (RAG) spanning various data sources.
Develop innovative AI flows to improve hardware and software through collaboration with various engineering roles.
Collaborate with SME's to transform rules of thumb into specific assignments, resources, cues, and guidelines. Define success measures, evaluation data, and feedback loops for agents to make a measurable difference in NVIDIA's HW and SW products.
Set up evaluation backbone using offline golden sets and online telemetry for confident iterations, cost control, and safe improvements.
What We Need To See:
BSc/MSc in CS/CE or related field (or equivalent experience)
10+ years in applied ML/AI or large-scale systems, with 3+ years crafting agentic or LLM-powered applications in production environments.
Proficient in Python; skilled in agentic frameworks, tool use, RAG pipelines, and model adaptation.
Excellence in communication and facilitation: aligning diverse collaborators, documenting decisions/assumptions,and influencing without authority.
Proactive, independent, possessing strong analytical and problem-solving abilities; adept at handling uncertainty to provide practical, gradual benefits.
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:
Strong software development experience
Experience with data processing and storage (e.g. SQL databases, NoSQL databases).
Networking background, with knowledge of network architectures and networking concepts
