ML Engineer, 4D Action Segmentation

AI · San Francisco / Remote (US) · Full-time · $150k - $260k + equity

Develop the action segmentation pipeline that converts continuous 4D hand-mocap streams into structured, training-ready tasks. The role spans model design, data tooling, and evaluation infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Develop action segmentation models that parse 4D point-cloud streams from the glove.
  • Iterate across transformer, point-cloud, and hybrid architectures, characterizing strengths and failure modes of each.
  • Build labeling and verification tools that close the loop between data collectors and the training dataset.
  • Define evaluation suites that catch regressions before production.
  • Partner with simulation, robotics, and product teams to align parsed output with downstream needs.

What we're looking for

  • MS or PhD in CS, robotics, or related field, or equivalent applied experience.
  • 3+ years working on sequence models, point clouds, or video understanding.
  • Strong Python; fluency in PyTorch.
  • Track record of taking models from research code to production-quality systems.
  • Comfortable working at the boundary between learned models and structured pipelines.

Nice to have

  • Published work in action segmentation, 4D understanding, or temporal models.
  • Experience with HOI4D, EgoExo4D, or comparable datasets.
  • Familiarity with point-cloud architectures (PointNet++, P4Transformer, PPTr).
