Job description

Drive the next wave of generative and multimodal intelligence that powers our autonomous robots. As a core member of the AI Research team, you'll turn cutting-edge vision-language and diffusion advances into robust, real-time systems that see, reason, and act on dynamic construction sites.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Research & innovate diffusion-based generative models for photorealistic wall-surface simulation, defect synthesis, and domain adaptation.
  • Architect and train Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Vision-Language Alignment (VLA) objectives that connect textual work orders, CAD plans, and sensor data to pixel-level understanding.
  • Lead development of auto-annotation pipelines (active learning, self-training, synthetic data) that scale to millions of frames and point-clouds with minimal human effort.
  • Optimize and compress models (INT8, LoRA, distillation) for deployment on Jetson-class edge devices under ROS 2.
  • Own the full lifecycle—problem definition, literature review, prototyping, offline / online evaluation, and production hand-off to perception & controls teams.
  • Publish internal tech reports and external conference papers; mentor interns and junior engineers.

Qualifications & Skills :

  • 3+ years in deep-learning R\&D or Ph.D. / M.S. in CS, EE, Robotics or related field with strong publication record.
  • Demonstrated expertise in diffusion models (DDPM, LDM, ControlNet) and multimodal transformers / VLMs (CLIP, DINO, LLaVA, Flamingo).
  • Proven success building large-scale data-centric AI workflows—active learning, pseudo-labeling, weak supervision.
  • Advanced proficiency in Python, PyTorch (or JAX), experiment tracking, and scalable training (PyTorch Lightning, DeepSpeed, Ray).
  • Familiarity with edge-AI runtimes (TensorRT, ONNX Runtime), and CUDA / C++ performance tuning.
  • Strong mathematical foundation (probability, information theory, optimization) and ability to translate theory into production code.
  • Bonus : experience with synthetic data generation in Isaac Sim, or robotics perception stacks (ROS2, Nav2, MoveIt 2, Open3D).
  • Why join us?

  • Own breakthrough tech from idea to autonomous robot on active job-sites—your work leaves the lab fast.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with perception, controls, and product teams & publish at top venues with company support.
  • Shape an industry by replacing dangerous, repetitive construction labor with intelligent robots.
  • Competitive salary + equity, hardware budget, flexible hybrid work, and a culture that prizes deep work and rapid iteration.
