AI Researcher at Hedral Inc.
Passionate about the intersection of 3D geometry and AI? We’re looking for an AI Researcher in NYC, Austin, or Dallas who can move fluidly between research and production engineering. If you have experience in Gaussian splatting, Fourier neural operators, or physics-based simulation and want to redefine spatial reasoning, this is your chance to ship code that shapes the physical world.
About this role
Role overview
About the company
Hedral Inc. is a technology-enabled architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) design firm that uses artificial intelligence and automation to transform building design and structural engineering workflows.[2][3][5][7] The company focuses on automating the steps required to produce structural engineering outputs such as stamped drawings and 3D building models, enabling real estate developers and other clients to obtain designs significantly faster and at lower cost compared to traditional firms.[3][5] By supercharging domain experts with cutting-edge technology, Hedral aims to establish a new standard for building architecture and construction design, helping clients arrive at optimal outcomes within the constraints of physics, function, aesthetics, and environmental impact.[2][3][5][7] Its solutions target faster project delivery, reduced environmental footprint, and increased efficiency across the building design and engineering process.[3][5][7]
