In this role, you will:
Research, implement, and optimize state of the art machine learning approaches to improve 3D simulation variation and fidelity

Collaborate with ML Researchers, Technical Artists and Simulation engineers to bring new ML techniques to our production simulator

Train 4D generative and world models for simulating rare scenarios

Build scalable, useable cloud pipelines for machine learning solutions in 3D simulation

Improve rendering and tooling for generating realistic data at scale

Qualifications:
7+ years of experience with Python/C++ programming and algorithm design

Experience building and extending radiance field ML models

Experience with generative models for 3D or video content

Publications or production experience in human-centric 3D vision, 3D reconstruction, or style transfer

Strong mathematical skills and understanding of probabilistic techniques

Bonus Qualifications:
Experience automating 3D content pipelines using applications like Houdini, Maya, or Blender

Experience in distributed systems and cloud computing platforms

Experience in generative camera, lidar, radar, or LWIR
