Codec Avatars Research Engineer
Pittsburgh, PA
This role is primarily centered on the generation of our codec avatars from images or videos captured in real-world scenarios. This involves training large-scale universal prior models using over a billion images and videos, and then applying these models to any new image or video to swiftly generate realistic codec avatars. As part of this role, you will collaborate with a team of research scientists, research engineers, and software engineers to pioneer research in the field of digital humans. You will work with some of the largest machine learning training datasets in the world, supported by an advanced cluster of thousands of GPUs. You will be responsible for designing and conducting research experiments, contributing significantly to our mission of digitizing every individual globally using a single image or video.Codec Avatars Research Engineer Responsibilities
- Develop a large-scale machine learning model to build a universal prior for human features such as face, body, hands, hair, etc.
- Personalize the universal prior model on a single human image/video to rapidly construct a realistic codec avatar.
- Define data requirements and collaborate with the Research SuperCluster team to efficiently load data.
- Partner with the GenAI team to explore and implement various state-of-the-art models and methods, including transformers, diffusion models, hypernetworks, etc.
- Collaborate with the Universal Encoder team to support the real-time driving of the generated codec avatar.
