The Staff Applied Scientist joins the Applied Science & Machine Learning team to develop next-generation multimodal foundation models. This role focuses on building large-scale pipelines for generating, curating, and validating 3D and 4D assets, as well as creating simulation-based data generation systems using game engines and digital environments. The candidate will build agentic workflows to automate the creation and refinement of content while designing infrastructure for procedural asset creation and motion synthesis. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python and C++, experience with engines like Unreal Engine, Unity, or Blender, and a deep understanding of 3D content systems including meshes, textures, and skeletal animation. The work addresses the challenge of scaling synthetic data generation and developing advanced multimodal AI systems by bridging the gap between traditional research and engineering to solve complex problems in 3D/4D content creation.
