Research Scientist, ML Systems - PhD New College Grad 2026

We are now looking for a Research Scientist New Graduate with a focus on Machine Learning Systems (MLSys). NVIDIA Research seeks exceptional systems researchers to contribute to the development of hardware, software, and infrastructure technology for ML systems of all scales. Advances in AI/ML rely on efficient, scalable, resilient, and trustworthy systems for training, fine‑tuning, and serving ML models. All layers of AI systems need to be co‑designed and co‑optimized to maximize performance, energy efficiency, scalability, and support emerging algorithms. Candidates should have a proven track record of research excellence and depth in one of the layers such as AI/ML systems, operating systems, distributed systems, data management, cloud computing, or computer architecture. What you'll be doing: Understand and analyze the efficiency, scaling, and resilience challenges in ML systems, algorithms, and applications. Develop creative systems solutions (hardware, software, infrastructure) for future ML systems of all scales. Contribute to the co‑design of next‑generation AI/ML algorithms and systems. Collaborate with a diverse set of research and product teams across the company, spanning software, hardware, AI, and networking. Publish original research and speak at conferences and events. What we need to see: Recent graduate with a Ph.D. in CS/CE/EE or equivalent with a strong background in operating systems, distributed systems, inference and training systems, data management systems, networking, cloud computing, and/or computer architecture. A strong publication, patent, and research collaboration history is a huge advantage. Demonstrated expertise in one specific area with the ability to become the go‑to resource within a team having varied backgrounds. Background with experimental research and development. Experience with C, C++, Python, and/or scripting languages. Experience with using AI tools for analysis, design, and code development. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 168,000 USD - 264,500 USD. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits. NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
