Research Engineer (Machine Translation)

Sanas

Palo Alto, CA • On-site

Full-time

Posted 17 days ago

Job description

Job Summary:
Sanas is pioneering the future of human communication with its innovative real-time speech AI platform. They are seeking a Research Engineer to own and drive improvements in translation quality across language pairs, focusing on real-time simultaneous interpretation and modeling challenges.
Responsibilities:
• Own and drive improvements to translation accuracy across Sanas's supported language pairs, with a focus on conversational, spoken-language domains.
• Design, train, and evaluate neural MT models — from fine-tuning large multilingual models to building targeted components for low-resource or high-priority language pairs.
• Develop and maintain rigorous evaluation pipelines using both automated metrics (BLEU, COMET, chrF) and human evaluation frameworks calibrated to real-world enterprise use cases.
• Identify the highest-leverage research bets — data augmentation, domain adaptation, quality estimation, terminology consistency — and execute on them with measurable quality gains.
• Lead research and development of Sanas's delimiter model — the component that determines optimal segmentation points in streaming speech for real-time translation output.
• Develop methods to handle speech disfluencies, sentence fragments, and incomplete utterances gracefully in a streaming translation pipeline.
• Collaborate closely with the speech and inference engineering teams to ensure translation components meet strict real-time latency budgets in production.
• Define and maintain a research roadmap for MT and simultaneous interpretation, prioritizing work that moves production quality metrics.
• Stay at the frontier of MT research — track and evaluate relevant work — and translate (haha) relevant advances into practical improvements at Sanas.
• Mentor and technically guide other engineers working on translation-adjacent problems across the ML org.
• Identify, source, and curate training data for MT and delimiter modeling — including parallel corpora, synthetic data generation, and speech-aware augmentation strategies.
• Instrument model quality monitoring in production to detect degradation across language pairs and trigger targeted retraining cycles.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 3+ years of experience in machine translation, NLP, or multilingual modeling research — with a track record of measurable quality improvements in production systems.
• Deep familiarity with neural MT architectures: sequence-to-sequence models, Transformer variants, and large multilingual models.
• Hands-on experience with simultaneous or streaming translation, including segmentation and low-latency decoding strategies.
• Strong command of MT evaluation methodology — automated metrics, human evaluation design, and error analysis.
• Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch preferred)
• Demonstrated ability to set a research agenda, execute independently, and communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Fluency in English plus working proficiency in at least one non-English language is a strong plus.
Preferred:
• Experience with speech translation (end-to-end or cascaded) and speech-aware MT pipelines.
• Familiarity with on-device or edge-optimized model deployment for low-latency inference.
• Prior work on low-resource language pairs, domain adaptation, or terminology-constrained translation.
• Published research at ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, INTERSPEECH, or equivalent venues.
Company:
Sanas is a real-time speech-understanding platform that modulates accents while preserving voices and emotions for natural interactions. Founded in 2020, the company is headquartered in Palo Alto, USA, with a team of 51-200 employees. The company is currently Growth Stage.
