  • Familiarity with AR/VR SDKs (e.g., ARKit, ARCore, Oculus, SteamVR) and 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.
