We want new ambitious designers to join our Machine Learning Research group. With a mix of communicating with our AI/ML team and clients, we are looking for individuals with a proven track record of creating photo-realistic 3D renders in software with scriptable pipelines such as Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, etc. You will be working cross-functionally, communicating with both developers as well as members of the research team to establish assets, models, textures etc that would be required in the improvement of our internal Deep Learning Suite. You'll be working on designing photo-realistic scenes involving objects with various textures under different lighting conditions, orientations, shapes, etc. Additionally, you will also work on key-framing and animating objects/humans in various poses/environments. You will play a pivotal role in the creation of data that is otherwise impossible to collect by hand and be a key individual in the creating a fully Synthetic Data Generation Pipeline. The main tools you're likely to work with include, but are not limited to: Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, 3DS Max, etc.
