As a Staff AI Engineer on the SimAI team, you will build and deploy applied AI/ML solutions that support simulation workflows, internal tools, and mission-critical engineering use cases. You will manage the full lifecycle of innovation, from early exploration and rapid prototyping to shipping robust production systems. Your daily work involves collaborating with simulation, scenario-generation, data, and engineering teams to identify opportunities where AI can create value. The role focuses on fine-tuning, adapting, optimizing, and evaluating models rather than training foundation models. You will utilize Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenAI APIs, HuggingFace, gsplat, and other libraries to develop high-performance inference pipelines. Key technical areas include multimodal GenAI, 3D reconstruction, NeRF, Gaussian Splatting, world models, diffusion-based generation, vector search/RAG systems, and integration into robotics or AV perception stacks.
