Research Engineer — Egocentric Perception Models Humyn Labs
ABOUT HUMYN LABS
Humyn Labs builds the intelligence layer for physical-world AI. We convert human action — sight, sound, movement, touch into training-grade multimodal data for embodied AI, captured across 20+ countries in the real environments where physical AI actually deploys, not the labs where it is built.

Our egocentric corpus ships to robotics and world-model teams as labeled data: 6-DoF head pose, metric 3D hand keypoints, depth, object tracks. The labels are the product. Their accuracy is the company.

THE OPPORTUNITY
Our auto-annotation stack currently runs on public off-the-shelf models — for head pose, hand keypoints, depth, and object detection and segmentation. Every one of them was trained on data that does not look like ours, and every one of them has a documented failure mode on our captures: wide-FOV fisheye rigs, gloved hands, heavy occlusion, motion blur, ego-motion, real workshops instead of clean scenes. We have measured those failures precisely.



We are hiring you to remove them — by training our own models, on our own data, and putting them in production behind a gate. This is not a research role adjacent to the pipeline. You own the model layer of the pipeline.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN
• Metric 3D hand pose. Build the in-house hand model that is reliable in the world frame, and decide the representation (MANO topology, 6D vs axis-angle) rather than inheriting it.
• Egocentric pose that survives the camera. We have narrowed the suspects (rectification residual, FOV, shutter type) and currently route between several public SLAM / VIO systems per clip. Replace routing-by-heuristic with a model that makes any capture device deliverable — including learned despiking and drift correction.
• Ground truth where we have none. Today we validate pose without ground truth (loop-closure drift, static-window jitter). Stand up real GT — fiducial-based (AprilTag / ArUco), gravity-aligned via IMU — under a ha
