Lead frontier AI research to develop novel architectures and algorithms for foundation models, agentic AI, and multimodal learning. Translate scientific breakthroughs into scalable production technologies and provide technical leadership through mentoring and external publications.
Requires a PhD in Computer Science or a related field with 5+ years of research experience and a strong track record of publications at top-tier AI conferences. Expert proficiency in Python, PyTorch, and distributed training systems is essential.
Job posting may be removed earlier if the position is filled or if a sufficient number of applications are received.
At Foundation AI, we are leading frontier AI research across Cisco. Our mission is to advance the state of artificial intelligence through fundamental research and translate scientific breakthroughs into differentiated technologies that power the next generation of enterprise AI.
Our research spans foundation models, agentic AI, multimodal learning, reasoning systems, scalable training algorithms, evaluation science, inference optimization, and AI systems infrastructure. We work at the intersection of cutting-edge research and real-world impact, developing technologies that influence Cisco's AI strategy while contributing meaningfully to the broader AI research community.
We believe impactful research should advance both science and products. Our researchers publish at top AI conferences, contribute to open-source projects, collaborate with leading academic institutions, and build production systems that solve challenging enterprise-scale problems.
