Top AI Research Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

Build production agentic AI systems that reason across imagery, point clouds, BIM models, drawings, specifications, and sensor data. Responsibilities include designing multi-step agents, retrieval and grounding systems, tool interfaces, evaluations, model selection, traceable outputs, and production deployment. The role requires multimodal ML expertise, strong Python engineering, spatial-data fluency, and experience taking LLM or VLM systems into production.

Conduct independent AI research spanning large language models, reasoning, knowledge acquisition, factuality evaluation, and trustworthy AI. Translate research ideas into scalable prototypes, implement and extend state-of-the-art methods, design experiments, develop algorithms and evaluation methods, use AI-assisted development tools, and communicate findings through technical reports and research papers.

Own G2’s research agenda for evaluating AI agents in realistic business workflows. Design benchmarks, task environments, scoring systems, automated and human grading methods, and reliability analyses. Collaborate with engineering and product teams to ship evaluation capabilities, communicate findings to customers and researchers, mentor technical teams, and establish repeatable standards. The role requires hands-on LLM and agent evaluation experience, original research, statistical judgment, product delivery, and technical leadership.

Develop and optimize generative AI architectures for material and molecular discovery, including diffusion models, flow matching, and GFlowNets. Integrate reward signals from learned predictors and simulations, manage data ingestion and quality control, develop computational workflows, and deploy production-grade ML capabilities. Collaborate with ML researchers, computational scientists, engineering, product, and R&D teams. The role requires expertise in applied ML, scalable frameworks, cloud platforms, and material discovery, with preferred experience in active learning, Bayesian optimization, guided generation, and agentic or LLM methods.

One-year AI research fellowship for B.Tech, M.Tech, and PhD students offering a monthly stipend, research project, industry internship, computing resources, and conference support. Fellows submit resume, SOP, research proposal, and recommendations.

SynX Therapeutics, a biotech start-up, invites speculative applications for future roles related to drug discovery and engineered biology.

Join a research and advisory pipeline for an asset-management startup building an auditable reasoning engine. Advise on agentic AI, world models, interpretability, and systemic risk. Help shape research direction, identify failure modes and guardrails, and provide scholarly evidence (papers, GitHub, Google Scholar) and a short written response to demonstrate expertise.

Train and deploy manipulation policies for humanoid robots using teleoperation data. Responsibilities include VLA and imitation-learning model training, cross-embodiment foundation-model development, distributed training, evaluation through simulation and real-robot trials, dataset quality tooling, policy deployment, and failure analysis.

Develop and optimize quantum algorithms and applications for scientific and commercial impact, collaborating with partners and driving innovation.

Oversee global analytics and algorithm design initiatives for a nonprofit: identify high-impact projects, coordinate with student directors, collect feedback, design and run training for developers and technical advisors, and form partnerships to support implementation. Volunteer commitment ~5-6 hours/week.
