Machine Learning and LLM Research Scientist

Hewlett Packard Enterprise • Spring, TX

2d • Onsite

About The Position

This Research Scientist role sits within the core Machine Learning research team at Hewlett Packard Labs, HPE’s primary research organization, based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The team is recognized for award-winning, top-tier publications and foundational contributions spanning reinforcement learning for complex systems, large language models (LLMs), agentic AI, generative diffusion models, trustworthy AI, optimization, and digital twins. As part of this team, you will bridge frontier research with real-world impact, tackling challenges such as supercomputing and data center sustainability, nuclear fusion, and the trustworthiness of AI/LLM-based systems. You will conduct original research and develop novel technologies across areas, including LLM reasoning, agentic and multi-agent systems, reinforcement learning, generative modeling, digital twins, clean energy, and data center/private cloud optimization. The work includes multi-agent and multi-objective real-time control of complex physical systems, LLM-enabled explainable decision-making, agentic frameworks for cyber-physical systems, analytics and uncertainty quantification, and diffusion-model approaches for design and optimization. You will be expected to provide technical thought leadership, collaborate closely with internal teams and external partners, and contribute to HPE’s research and product strategy by identifying and shaping emerging technology opportunities. Success in this role includes publishing at leading venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, AAAI) and developing patent disclosures. The position is highly hands-on, involving software prototyping and engineering, GPU acceleration, model optimization, and real-time data/streaming workflows to deliver robust AI capabilities for production-relevant use cases. This is a rare opportunity to operate at the intersection of AI research and high-impact applications with world-class collaborators. This is an office-based role and the selected candidate will be working from HPE office in Spring, TX.
