Position: Lead AI Engineer

Location: Bengaluru

Working Days: 5 (Mon-Fri)

Experience Required: 8+ Years

About the Role

As a core member of the AI Research team, you'll turn cutting-edge, vision-language and diffusion advances into robust real-time systems that see, reason, and act on energetic construction sites.

Key Responsibilities
Research & innovate diffusion-based generative models for photorealistic wall-surface simulation, defect synthesis, and domain adaptation.
Architect and train Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Vision-Language Action Models (VLA) objectives that connect textual work orders, CAD plans, and sensor data to pixel-level understanding.
Lead development of auto-annotation pipelines (active learning, self-training, synthetic data) that scale to millions of frames and point-clouds with minimal human effort.
Optimize and compress models (INT8, LoRA, distillation) for deployment on Jetson-class edge devices under ROS 2.
Own the full lifecycle, problem definition, literature review, prototyping, offline/online evaluation, and production hand-off to perception & controls teams.




Publish internal tech reports and external conference papers; mentor interns and junior engineers.

Requirements

Qualifications & Skills
8+ years in deep-learning R&D; or Ph.D./M.S. in CS, EE, Robotics, or related field with a robust publication record.
Demonstrated expertise in diffusion models (DDPM, LDM, ControlNet) and multimodal transformers / VLMs (CLIP, BLIP-2, LLaVA, Flamingo).
Proven success building large-scale data-centric AI workflows, active learning, pseudo-labeling, weak supervision.
Advanced proficiency in Python, PyTorch (or JAX), experiment tracking, and scalable training (PyTorch Lightning, DeepSpeed, Ray).
Familiarity with edge-AI runtimes (TensorRT, ONNX Runtime), and CUDA / C++ performance tuning.
Solid mathematical foundation (probability, information theory, optimization) and ability to translate theory into production code.
Bonus: Experience with synthetic data generation in Isaac Sim or robotics perception stacks (ROS2, Nav2, MoveIt 2, Open3D).
