Research Engineer - Data
What we're looking for
Spectral is seeking a talented engineer who will help us build robust data & feature engineering pipelines to power our next generation of CAD foundation models. Any model is necessarily bottlenecked by the quality of its data - so the importance of this role is self-explanatory.
Responsibilities
Build performant data pipelines to translate collected data into efficient feature representations
As the processed data representation is tightly coupled w/ the model, collaborate with research team on design of the model
Develop methods to automate CAD data extraction, encoding, reconstruction, and verification.
(optionally, depending on experience) manage and steer our data collection efforts
Collaborate with a small, elite team of researchers and engineers across domains.
Qualifications
3+ years of experience in relevant engineering field. Bachelors-masters-PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, Math, or a related technical field a plus.
Strong intuitive grasp of geometry, demonstrated through background
Experience in graphics is a plus
Experience solving problems that stump others. Must love the process of solving hard problems.
High GPA in a competitive undergrad program is a big plus
Experience with generative CAD modeling or other 3D domains, embodied AI, self-driving, or image/video/world modeling.
Objectively impressive achievements in any domain are a big plus
Experience working with cloud infrastructure data pipelines is a plus (but if you’re smart & motivated this can be picked up very quickly).
Benefits
Health insurance with 100% premium covered
Free lunch, dinner, and snacks
