Senior Applied Researcher

The role

As a Senior Applied Researcher, you will take end-to-end ownership of complex machine learning problems across the Physical AI space. This is a high-impact role for someone with a strong technical foundation and a generalist mindset who can move from problem framing and experimentation through deployment and ongoing support.

You will work closely with engineering, product, and client-facing teams to turn advanced ML methods into production-ready solutions that can be trusted in real customer environments. The role blends research depth with practical delivery, and requires someone who can align stakeholders, surface risks and limitations, and communicate technical decisions clearly.

What you will do

CoreWeave’s Monolith team is building the essential cloud platform for AI innovators, applying machine learning to solve intractable physics and engineering challenges. We operate at the intersection of advanced cloud infrastructure and applied data science, transforming how complex industrial products - such as automotive systems, aircraft, and advanced batteries - are conceived, tested, and developed.
