Research Scientist

We change the World, you will become passionate about your employer and the brand you represent. Everything is converging on the Internet, making networked connections more meaningful than ever before in our lives. Our employees' groundbreaking ideas impact everything. Here, that means we take creative ideas from the drawing board to dynamic solutions that have real world impact. You'll collaborate with Cisco leaders, partner with mentors, and develop incredible relationships with colleagues who share your interest in connecting the unconnected. You'll be part a team that cares about its customers, enjoys having fun, and you'll take part in changing the lives of those in our local communities. Come prepared to be encouraged and inspired.

Your primary role is to produce fundamental research advances in the field of AI and how it relates to networking, security, programming, human-computer interaction, or other strategic areas in computer science. You will research foundational representations relevant to networking, security, etc. that are product-independent. You will be a thought leader in the global research community via publishing papers, giving technical talks, organizing workshops etc

You will join a newly formed, dynamic AI team as one of the early members, and have the opportunity to influence the culture and direction of the growing team. Our team includes both AI experts as well as domain experts who work together closely and learn from each other. We work closely with product managers and strategists who have deep expertise and experience in AI, and learn from them what research could be most impactful, and influence them about what research could make possible.

The Cisco CPX AI Research team consists of AI research scientists, data scientists, and network engineers with subject matter expertise who collaborate together on both basic and applied research projects. We are motivated by tackling unique research challenges that arise when connecting people and devices at a world-wide scale.

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we're "old" (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we're also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do - you can't put us in a box!

But "Digital Transformation" is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.
