Role Overview

We are looking for an AI Research Engineer to work on advanced Computer Vision, Generative AI, Vision-Language Models (VLMs), and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) systems for autonomous robotics.

The role combines AI research with production engineering taking ideas from research and experimentation through evaluation, optimization, and deployment on real-world robotic systems.

This is a research-focused AI role working on Computer Vision, Generative AI, and multimodal models for autonomous systems. The role involves developing Diffusion Models, VLMs, and data-centric AI solutions to improve machine perception and understanding, while taking research models through experimentation, optimization, and deployment on real-world edge systems.​

Key Responsibilities
- Research and develop Diffusion-based Generative AI models for synthetic data generation, defect simulation, photorealistic environments, and domain adaptation.
- Design and train VLMs/VLAs connecting text instructions, visual data,



CAD/spatial information, and sensor inputs for scene understanding and intelligent decision-making.
- Build scalable auto-annotation and data-centric AI pipelines using Active Learning, Self-Training, Pseudo-Labeling, Weak Supervision, and Synthetic Data.
- Develop AI workflows capable of handling millions of images, video frames, and point clouds with minimal manual annotation.
- Optimize models for edge deployment using INT8 quantization, LoRA, Knowledge Distillation, TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, CUDA, and C++.
- Work with NVIDIA Jetson-class edge hardware and integrate AI models with robotics systems.
- Own the complete research lifecycle: problem definition â literature review â prototyping â training â evaluation â optimization â production handoff.
- Collaborate with Computer Vision, Perception, Robotics, and Controls teams.
- Contribute to technical documentation, research publications, and mentor jun
