Senior Researcher, NLP

This role will bring language technologies into users’ interactions with our world-class video management systems and build on our best-in-class video analytics, to explore new ways in which to provide multi-modal and agentic means to elicit human intentions and effect outcomes. Working both within the HCAI team, and with our colleagues in the Emerging Products function, this presents a unique opportunity to iteratively develop solutions with our large customer base (e.g., half a million installations of our VMS) and partner network.

Your primary responsibilities are:

• Establishing a role for NLP topics within Human-Centered AI mission and strategy

• Demonstrated experience in successfully leading a major NLP-based project from conception to completion.
• Proven ability to create and implement a research strategy/agenda in the field of NLP.
