Senior AI R&D Engineer(Computer Vision/Graphics)

Full Description

Role Statement:

We are looking for a technically exceptional and creative Senior AI R&D Engineer with deep expertise in computer vision, computer graphics, robotics, 3D animation, and immersive technologies (AR/VR) to join our advanced innovation team. You will be at the forefront of designing and prototyping next-generation AI systems that combine real-time perception, simulation, and interaction. Ideal for someone who thrives in research-driven, cross-disciplinary environments and wants to shape the future of intelligent 3D experiences.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the design and development of advanced algorithms in 3D computer vision, 3D reconstruction, pose estimation and computer graphics.

Lead the creation of real-time 3D graphics pipelines, physics-based simulations, and robotics environments using 3D game engines.

Develop AI-assisted pipelines for 3D animation, including facial animation, body motion synthesis, and procedural animation using synthetic or captured data.

Contribute to the design and deployment of AR/VR systems, including human-AI interaction models in immersive environments.

Collaborate with dev, DevOps, product, and design teams to translate research into scalable, production-ready systems.

Mentor junior engineers and drive best practices in applied AI research and development.

Required Qualifications:

Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical / Computer Engineering, Robotics, Animation Technology, or a related field with 5+ years of industry/startup R&D experience, or Ph.D. with 2+ years of industry/startup R&D experience

Proficiency in Python and C++, and strong experience with tools such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, Open3D, ROS, and CUDA

Experience with 3D animation tools, including rigging, keyframing, & procedural animation techniques.

Strong working knowledge of Unity or Unreal Engine, particularly for simulating physical interactions or deploying AI-driven characters.

Familiarity with AR/VR SDKs (e.g., ARKit, ARCore, Oculus, SteamVR) & immersive experience design.

Solid foundation in applied mathematics, geometry, and optimization relevant to graphics and robotics.

Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally in high-velocity, research-to-product environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

Research or production experience in generative AI for 3D/animation (e.g., text-to-3D, motion diffusion models, NeRF avatars).

Contributions to academic conferences (e.g., CVPR, SIGGRAPH, ICRA, NeurIPS) or open-source initiatives.

Background in digital humans, 3D avatars, digital twins, or XR experiences.

Familiarity with cloud-based rendering, simulation orchestration, and scalable ML workflows.

Enthusiastic about crafting AI-first 3D interfaces, robotic systems, or immersive storytelling applications.
