Tokyo AssetHub Full time

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled AI Researcher with deep expertise in 3D modeling, computer vision, and AI-assisted asset creation. In this role, you will push the boundaries of AI-native workflows for 3D content production, combining cutting-edge research with practical implementation. You will work closely with our team to design and optimize algorithms, integrate state-of-the-art models, and contribute directly to the development of AssetHub's next-generation 3D creation tools.

This position offers the opportunity to work on pioneering applications of AI in 3D modeling — from topology optimization to generative asset pipelines — and to shape the future of how high-quality 3D assets are produced.

Responsibilities

  • Research, design, and implement advanced AI/ML algorithms for 3D modeling and computer vision.
  • Integrate state-of-the-art AI models into production-ready workflows.
  • Collaborate with product, engineering, and creative teams to define and refine AI-native 3D content pipelines.
  • Optimize algorithms for efficiency, scalability, and quality in real-world production environments.
  • Contribute to AssetHub's research direction and provide thought leadership in AI for 3D.

Requirements

Must-Have

Applicants who do not meet these criteria will be marked as "Not a fit."

  • 3+ years of research experience in AI for 3D modeling, computer vision, or related fields.
  • Proficiency in computer vision techniques such as edge detection, skeletonization, and Harris corners using OpenCV.
  • Experience with AI/ML models for image and 3D processing, including SAM, U-Net, ControlNet, and Hugging Face Transformers.
  • Strong background in graph theory and algorithms, particularly using NetworkX for topology optimization.
  • Experience utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) for research, automation, or generative tasks in 3D contexts.
  • 3–7 years of experience in AI for 3D modeling, computer vision, or related fields.
  • Must be located in the United States.

Preferred

Applicants who best meet these criteria will be marked as "Top fit."

  • Research experience related to quadrangulation techniques in 3D modeling.
  • Research background in 3D mesh or texture generation.
  • Experience with or WebGL for 3D visualization and rendering.
  • Familiarity with 3D AI tools such as Meshy AI or Tripo AI, or frameworks like PyTorch for custom model development.
  • Knowledge of Python libraries like scipy, Open3D, or rdkit for advanced processing.
  • Contributions to open-source AI/3D projects or academic publications.
  • Experience with Blender Python API or add-ons for rapid prototyping.
