About the job
Architect and train proprietary models for 3D human pose, body tracking, mesh recovery, and human-scene interaction to support embodied AI and robotics.
What you'll do
- Design and train models for 3D pose estimation, full-body mesh recovery, and kinematic tracking, including large-scale distributed training.
- Develop robust human-scene interaction and motion models for occlusion, dynamic scenes, physical contact, and downstream robotics.
- Prototype perception models for emerging tasks such as action segmentation, intent prediction, and new sensor integrations.
What they ask for
- Deep expertise in deep learning, 3D computer vision, articulated tracking, or human body pose estimation.
- Proven experience training large-scale vision models from scratch.
- Strong understanding of parametric human body models, inverse kinematics, and dense mesh estimation.
- Mastery of PyTorch and deep learning scaling frameworks; experience curating massive, multi-terabyte image and video datasets.
Nice to have
- First-author publications at CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, or NeurIPS on relevant human pose, motion, or interaction topics.
- Experience with human motion datasets such as AMASS, Human3.6M, EgoBody, PROX.
Tools
PyTorch, SMPL, SMPL-X, GHUM, MHR, SOMA-X, AMASS, Human3.6M
