Collaborative Culture: Join a talented and passionate team that values open communication and innovation.

At Ultralytics, we commit to relentless innovation in the AI space and seek team members who resonate with our ambition to produce the world's best YOLO AI models. If you're obsessed with AI, eager to make an impact on the world, and thrive in dynamic, high-intensity environments, we invite you to apply for a position on our team.

As an R&D Engineer focused on neural network architectures for YOLO, you'll design and develop the neural network architectures at the core of how YOLO is built. Your work will directly shape the open-source models used by millions of developers across detection, segmentation, pose, and emerging vision tasks.

You'll operate at the intersection of research and production, turning ideas from papers into performant architectures, rigorous experiments, and production-ready model designs. Working closely with our cross-disciplinary R&D team, you'll help define future releases across the Ultralytics ecosystem and contribute to the technical foundations documented in our docs and guides.

This role is ideal for a hands-on researcher who thrives on first-principles thinking, rapid experimentation, and high ownership. You bring deep architectural intuition, strong PyTorch skills, and the drive to build original models that advance the state of the art.

• Research, design, and build novel neural network architectures for next-generation YOLO models.

• Develop core components including backbones, necks, heads, attention modules, and efficient building blocks.

• Read, reproduce, and extend cutting-edge papers into working model architectures from scratch.

• Run rigorous ablation studies and large-scale architecture experiments across standard benchmarks.

• Improve accuracy, latency, and scaling through distillation, pruning, and quantization-aware design.

• Build training recipes and evaluation pipelines for detection, segmentation, pose, and new vision tasks.

• Partner with R&D and engineering teams to turn research ideas into production-ready open-source models.

• Contribute to foundational model initiatives that support future YOLO and broader vision systems.

• Take ownership of assigned R&D tasks beyond architecture work and solve problems efficiently and correctly.
