3D Avatar Research and Development - PICO Perception - San Jose

About team
We are the Engineering Architecture team of the PICO-Interactive Perception R&D Department. We are responsible for the architecture design and engineering implementation in the Interactive Perception Department. We focus on exploring the low-power consumption deployment of AI models, strive for excellence and aim to become an international team with leading technology.

Responsibilities:

• Participate in research and development tasks to explore new frontiers in 3D Avatar generative models and deep dive into advanced 3D geometry, texturing, human reconstruction, and animation techniques.
• Contribute to project discussions, offering innovative ideas for 3D modeling and avatar generation/animation.
• Collaborate closely with XFN teams to refine 3D Avatar Generative models in business operations and transform advanced technology into PICO products.
• Document research findings clearly and contribute to research publications, patents, and presentations.
