Responsibilities

• Research high-fidelity geometric 3D representations that align with professional artists’ aesthetic standards and production requirements.
• Explore generative models built upon novel 3D representations, with a focus on generation quality, geometric accuracy, controllability, and scalability.
• Collaborate with researchers and engineers to translate research ideas into practical systems and real-world applications.

Who We Look For

• Strong programming and engineering skills.
• Solid understanding of machine learning, deep learning, and generative models.
• Research or project experience in at least one of the following areas:
  • 3D vision
  • Geometry processing
  • Multimodal generation
  • 3D generation
• Strong experimental design, data analysis, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to independently implement, debug, and evaluate research ideas.
• Interest in developing next-generation 3D content generation technologies and applications.
• Candidates with experience across multiple relevant areas will be especially welcome.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with large-scale model training, distributed systems, or high-performance computing.
• Experience with 3D representations and methods such as meshes, point clouds, neural fields, Gaussian splatting, or differentiable rendering.
• Experience with multimodal foundation models, diffusion models, autoregressive models, or related generative architectures.
• Publications at top-tier conferences or journals in computer vision, machine learning, computer graphics, or related fields are a plus.
• Strong open-source projects or substantial research and engineering contributions in related areas are a plus.

What We Offer

• Sufficient computing resources to support large-scale experiments and fast research iteration.
• Access to industry-leading data assets for 3D and multimodal research.
• Opportunities to build upon the team’s research experience with state-of-the-art proprietary models.
• Exposure to the full research and development lifecycle, from early-stage exploration to large-scale model development and real-world deployment.
• Opportunities to collaborate with experienced researchers and engineers on next-generation 3D generation technologies.
