Jobs at Samsung Research America

Develop and scale cloud-hosted, high-performance robotics simulation pipelines. Build Python, C++, and Rust components for asset management, simulation, cloud deployment, telemetry, evaluation, and testing. Optimize GPU-accelerated simulation performance, support robotics algorithm development, maintain release workflows, and enable reproducible AI training environments. Collaborate with researchers and engineering teams to transition manipulation, locomotion, and VLA algorithms from simulation into physical-world applications.

Coordinates HR support for bilingual Korean- and English-speaking expatriates, serving as their primary contact for onboarding, payroll, benefits, records, and employment inquiries. Supports HR business partners with onboarding, offboarding, engagement activities, events, office administration, reporting, and process improvements. Requires discretion, strong organization, communication skills, and the ability to manage confidential information and competing priorities.

Own the end-to-end software architecture for a robotics platform, integrating reasoning, dexterity, perception, and simulation systems. Define component interfaces, engineering standards, testing practices, documentation, CI/CD pipelines, Docker environments, deployment strategies, and troubleshooting workflows. Develop Python and C++ software for ROS/ROS2 systems, support physical robots and simulation, and enable reproducible AI development and cloud-based training workflows.

Own the end-to-end software architecture for a robotics platform, integrating hardware and software across reasoning, dexterity, perception, and simulation teams. Establish component interfaces, engineering standards, testing, documentation, CI/CD, Docker environments, deployment workflows, and reproducible AI development infrastructure. Develop Python and C++ software within ROS/ROS2 systems, support physical and simulated robots, and enable maintainable, scalable robotics research and production capabilities.

Leads full-cycle technical recruiting across leadership, mid-level, and early-career roles. Responsibilities include sourcing, screening, interviewing, candidate presentation, offer negotiation, hiring-manager advising, candidate experience management, employment-law compliance, market intelligence, and recruitment process improvement. The role partners with HR, hiring managers, sourcers, and coordinators to develop sourcing strategies, improve recruiting operations, and close qualified candidates across a national, multi-site organization.

Lead NPU subsystem architecture for next-generation SoCs, including architectural exploration, microarchitecture, performance and power modeling, workload analysis, and hardware-software co-design. Develop cycle-accurate models, optimize CNN and LLM workloads, map AI use cases to NPU capabilities, and deliver architecture specifications. Collaborate with hardware, software, driver, OS, and system teams to implement high-performance, low-power solutions.

Develops external technology partnerships for Samsung’s mobile and wearable ecosystem. Identifies startups and emerging technologies, evaluates technical and commercial fit, builds business cases, leads proof-of-concepts, and supports commercialization, investment, or M&A opportunities. The role coordinates cross-functional and global teams, defines innovative consumer experiences, communicates recommendations to executives, and manages partner relationships across startups, investors, universities, and Samsung R&D organizations.

Lead Samsung’s vision, multimodal, agentic, and deep learning research strategy. Direct advanced AI R&D, guide global collaborations, drive top-tier publications and patents, and transfer research into consumer products and services. Build and develop internationally distributed teams, establish long-term innovation priorities, attract leading researchers and engineers, and elevate Samsung’s AI Center through influential research, conferences, workshops, and open challenges.

Design, build, and evaluate robotic hardware, sensors, and software; develop algorithms for perception, control, learning, navigation, and manipulation; create simulations and sim-to-real pipelines; collect and manage real-world data; run experiments and benchmarks; maintain robot fleets; document and present results; collaborate cross-functionally from concept to deployment.

Conduct cutting-edge robotics research across perception, planning, manipulation, and multimodal fusion. Develop VLMs/VLA models, TAMP, SLAM, real-time video encoders, 3D representations, and deploy scalable evaluation pipelines. Collaborate cross-functionally, publish papers, and generate patents while building autonomy architectures and training data-efficient robotic policies.

Lead state-of-the-art research in long-horizon robot autonomy (TAMP, VLMs, world models, 3D perception, multimodal fusion). Manage researchers and engineers to build and evaluate prototypes on simulated and real robots, collaborate cross-functionally and with external partners, publish papers, and generate patents while shaping R&D priorities.
