Member of Technical Staff, Applied Research
RunwayFull Time
Senior (5 to 8 years), Expert & Leadership (9+ years)
Candidates must possess a PhD in Machine Learning or a related technical field, or have at least 4 years of relevant industrial hands-on experience. Excellent proficiency in designing and deploying state-of-the-art computer vision and AI perception models, including multi-modal approaches, is required. Expertise in modern deep learning techniques such as transformer-based architectures, large Vision-language models (VLMs), Video generative models, and diffusion algorithms or Vision Language Action models (VLAs), with practical experience in training and fine-tuning these systems for scene understanding, is essential. A strong track record of implementing and evaluating advanced AI algorithms for perception and scene understanding in real-world scenarios, along with strong practical experience across the MLOps pipeline (data collection, curation, training, fine-tuning, evaluation), is necessary. Candidates should also have strong skills in fast prototyping, concept validation, and rapid iteration, utilizing experimentation as a core development tool, and possess strong programming skills in Python with the ability to write clean, efficient code.
The Senior AI Research Engineer will explore, develop, and implement cutting-edge technological advancements in multi-modal machine learning, including vision, audio, thermal, and gas sensing. Responsibilities include identifying emerging technologies, conducting in-depth evaluations, and translating these findings into innovative products. The role involves developing prototypes and conducting pilot projects to test new technologies in controlled environments. Driving collaborations with tech startups, research institutions, and industry leaders to leverage external expertise and accelerate innovation is also a key responsibility. Furthermore, the engineer will connect with engineering teams for the adoption and integration of new technologies into existing systems and processes, ensuring a seamless transition.
