AI Algorithm Expert - Hand Tracking, Pico

Location: San Jose

Team: Technology

Employment Type: Regular

Job Code: A193113

About the Team

The team at Pico is dedicated to leveraging technologies such as computer vision, deep learning, SLAM, 3D reconstruction, and multi-sensor fusion to continuously expand the ways humans interact with the virtual world through handheld controllers, bare-hand tracking, eye-tracking, and XR interactive accessories, enhancing the overall interaction experience.

Responsibilities

• Lead the development of high-precision and low-latency hand tracking algorithms in XR scenarios, covering directions such as monocular/multiple vision and multi-sensor fusion.
• Build a robust 3D gesture pose estimation model to solve problems of extreme scenarios such as occlusion, fast motion, and complex illumination.
• Optimize real-time inference performance of the algorithm on the mobile XR headset to achieve millimeter-level tracking accuracy.
• Lead the construction of the MultiModal Machine Learning interaction algorithm framework (hand + eye movement + peripheral device) to create a natural XR interaction pattern.
• Promote patent layout and publication of papers in top conferences (CVPR/ICCV/SIGGRAPH, etc.) to enhance the technical influence of the team.

Qualifications

• Minimum: Majored in Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition or Applied Mathematics, with more than 5 years of experience in algorithm R&D.
• Familiar with the technical principles, advantages and disadvantages of commercial solutions such as ARKit Hand Tracking and Quest Hand Tracking.
• Proficient in PyTorch framework and QNN deployment ecosystem, with practical experience in TensorRT end-side optimization.
• Preferred: Experience developing the core algorithm of HandTracking for XR products such as Apple Vision Pro, Meta Reality Labs, and Magic Leap.
• Preferred: Published papers on gesture tracking in top conferences such as CVPR/ICCV/SIGGRAPH.
