Job Summary
In this role, you develop algorithms for generating synthetic data and 3D simulations to train robots in complex scenarios, enhancing their perception and decision-making capabilities.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- In the AI Department, you develop the cognitive abilities of our robots and enable them to understand and respond to the world around them.
- You work on the algorithms that make machines intelligent and adaptive - from object recognition and speech processing to decision-making in complex environments.
- Here you are part of a team that pushes technological boundaries and works closely with other areas such as software, hardware, and product management.
- Using state-of-the-art tools and methods from Machine Learning and AI, you work on projects that are directly visible in our products.
- You will become part of our AI/Perception team and help shape the synthetic worlds in which our robots learn before they enter the real world.
- You are responsible for building scalable simulation and data generation pipelines as well as developing World Action Models that enable humanoid and collaborative robots to understand, predict, and act within complex scenes.
- Design and creation of generated 3D scenes from real-world recordings for training and validation of perception and policy models - from asset composition and physically accurate materials to dynamic populations with humans and objects.
- Development of systematic randomization strategies (lighting, textures, physics, sensor noise, camera positions) to bridge the sim-to-real gap and ensure robust generalization to real robot deployments.
- Development of methods for consistent addition, removal, and modification of objects in 3D scenes and point clouds — for data augmentation, occlusion handling, and scene manipulation at runtime.
- Use of modern simulation environments (e.g., Isaac Sim, Gazebo, Unreal/Unity) and validation on real humanoid and collaborative robots - always with a focus on safety and robustness.
- Design and fine-tuning of generative world models that predict scene dynamics, object interactions, and the consequences of robot actions — serving as a basis for model-based planning and policy learning.
- Close collaboration with the AI, Perception, Control, and Manipulation teams: defining requirements, integrating sensor models, developing diagnostic tools, creating documentation, and supporting CI/CD processes.
