Job technologies

Your role in the team

  • You will become part of our AI/Perception team and help shape the synthetic worlds in which our robots learn before entering the real world.
  • You will be 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.
  • Scene Simulation: Conception and construction of generated 3D scenes from real-world recordings for training and validating perception and policy models - from asset composition and physically accurate materials to dynamic population with humans and objects.
  • Domain Randomization: Development of systematic randomization strategies (lighting, textures, physics, sensor noise, camera poses) to close the sim-to-real gap and ensure robust generalization to real-world robot deployments.
  • 3D Inpainting & Scene Editing: Development of methods for consistently adding, removing, and modifying objects in 3D scenes and point clouds - for data augmentation, occlusion handling, and runtime scene manipulation.
  • Simulation & Validation: Use of modern simulation environments (e.g. Isaac Sim, Gazebo, Unreal/Unity) and validation of real humanoid and collaborative robots - always with a focus on safety and robustness.
  • World Action Models: Design and fine-tuning of generative world models that predict scene dynamics, object interactions, and the consequences of robot actions - as a foundation for model-based planning and policy learning.
  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with AI, perception, control, and manipulation teams: define requirements, integrate sensor models, develop diagnostic tools, create documentation, and support CI/CD processes.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • Excellent Master's or PhD degree in Computer Science, Physics, Robotics, Computer Graphics, or a related field

Qualifications

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team
