Position:AI Generative Image Model Engineer

* This can be either a remote, part-time, project-based position or a remote, full-time position.

Project: Plushie Generator

The goal of this project is to create a generative image model that can turn any 2D drawing, sketch, or picture into a realistic rendering of a 3D plushie. See https://www.thewayo.com/ai-sourcing-agent/ for a demo.

The project involves:

Create a dataset of realistic plushies, their text descriptions, and their corresponding original sketches/drawings.
Fine-tune a generative image model (e.g. Stable Diffusion) with the dataset.
Work with a front-end engineer to create an interactive tool.

The requirements for the generative tool include:

The user input can be a 2D drawing, sketch, or picture, and/or textual description, and the tool should generate a few variants of plushies based on the input.
The user can apply fine-grained control over the generated image, e.g. adjust the shape or change the texture of the plushie, or apply edits to a local area of the plushie.
(Bonus) The generated image can be turned into a 3D model (e.g. NeRF) to be exported.

Qualifications

1. Extensive knowledge of generative image models:

Deep understanding of generative models such as GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), VAEs (Variational Autoencoders), and diffusion models.
Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art models like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, DALL-E, and/or other relevant frameworks.
Experience with fine-grained control over generative image models, such as with ControlNet.

2. Experience in Model Fine-tuning:

Proven track record of fine-tuning pre-trained generative models on custom datasets.
Experience in creating and managing datasets, particularly in the context of image generation.
Demonstrated ability to optimize model performance and ensure high-quality outputs.

3. Bonus skills:

Experience with creating interactive applications that integrate AI models.
Knowledge of WebGL or similar technologies for 3D renderings on the Web.
