Senior Research Engineer, Mechanical Intuition in Multimodal Models

Job description

At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we’ve built a world-class team advancing the state of the art in AI, robotics, driving, and material sciences. The Team: The Future Factory team in TRI's Energy and Materials division focuses on developing cutting-edge tools and methods to accelerate change and increase flexibility and efficiency in Toyota's product design and manufacturing, to speed the transition to an emissions-free world. To achieve this we are building end-to-end AI systems that can reason about how physical objects are designed and made — from geometry and constraints through to simulation and assembly — and developing the engineering infrastructure needed to train, evaluate, and iterate on these systems at scale. The Opportunity: We are looking for a Senior Research Engineer to join us in building the systems and tools that power our research on physical AI. This role is well-suited for someone with a strong software engineering foundation, deep experience working with geometry or physical model...
