## About the Role

* Education: Master's degree in Computer Science, specializing in Computer Graphics, and Machine Learning for visual computing. Computer Vision education is a plus.
 * Core Skills: Proficiency in Python, PyTorch, C++, and CUDA for high-performance deep learning and graphics workflows.
 * Graphics & Physics Expertise: Background in computer graphics (rendering, rasterization, ray tracing, path tracing, mitsuba3).
 * Advanced Machine Learning skills: Experience with training/fine tuning large models, in particular diffusion models and transformers, automated data generation pipelines, multi-GPU scaling
 * Experience with use of AI agentic coding frameworks for task automation., The ideal candidate will be familiar with the main concepts of computer graphics and real-time/interactive rendering, and will have experience with development of advanced machine learning systems involving training and fine-tuning of diffusion/flow matching models and transformers, as well as general experience with moderately large software system development. The ability to work and interact well with a team of motivated researchers is essential. The specific background requirements are listed below.

## Description

As a Research Engineer on the NERPHYS project, the work will focus on designing, implementing, and scaling the core computational and data infrastructure:

 * Data Strategy & Infrastructure: Define and deploy automated data collection, synthetic rendering, and validation pipelines tailored for fine-tuning dynamic generative and physical models.
 * Model Fine-Tuning & Integration: Implement GPU-accelerated training workflows based on physically-based rendering to fine-tune diffusion models and integrate them with implicit/explicit neural scene representations (3DGS/NeRFs) and physical solvers.
 * Systems & Tooling: Build robust, reusable software abstractions and benchmarking frameworks to support the research team in running reproducible dynamic simulation experiments.
