At the Samsung AI Center-Cambridge, our Distributed AI group collaborates closely with the Generative AI and Speech AI teams within the Embedded AI division, to develop innovate machine learning (ML) algorithms and systems, with the overarching objective to deliver state-of-the-art efficient AI models across Samsung consumer devices. To this end, we focus on high-impact projects that balance research and commercial outcomes. Our group conducts research on on-device and edge-based ML systems, focusing on model/system and hardware/software co-design, adaptive inference methods, robotic systems, and the optimized on-device deployment of large language models (LLMs) and multimodal visual language models (VLMs).

Our team is characterized by its diverse backgrounds and expertise, ranging from pure machine learning and mobile/embedded systems to computer architecture and robotics, with strong emphasis on combining excellent research skills with hands-on development abilities. This diversity has enabled us to develop groundbreaking cross-stack ML systems and algorithms. Throughout our projects, we maintain strong ties with close-to-product teams, contributing to commercialization goals and ensuring our research has a tangible impact for Samsung through successful tech transfers and numerous patent applications. At the same time, our work is consistently and widely recognized, with multiple papers published in top-tier international conferences and journals.

As a Research Scientist you will:

  • Contribute to research and commercialization efforts for Samsung AI Centre in areas including on-device LLM and VLMs, adaptive inference methods, and mobile ML systems.
