Join our team at Roblox as we pioneer the next generation of character animation systems. On the Avatar movement team, you will be responsible for developing powerful physically-based character animation systems that demonstrate Roblox’s Simulation first principles. This role is a great opportunity to be part of a high-impact, high-visibility project from the ground up.

You Will:

• Develop Unsupervised Learning Models: Create and implement unsupervised machine learning models to improve avatar movement, demonstrating data to build and refine policies autonomously. Apply reinforcement learning to enhance avatar control.
• Build and Train Learning Systems: Architect and train advanced models that guide our avatars how to move and react more naturally, incorporating physical simulation, control policies, and learning systems using frameworks like TensorFlow.
• Enhance Animation Systems: Collaborate with a broader animation team to innovate and optimize our animation pipelines, ensuring seamless integration and performance of physics-based animation within the Roblox engine.
• Implement and Optimize in C++ and Python: Apply C++ for high-performance implementation of core animation systems and Python for scripting, model training, and rapid prototyping.

You Have:

• Expertise in Physically-Based Character Animation: A strong background in physics simulation, character animation and motion control, with experience in deploying these systems in a real-time environment.
• Experience with Machine Learning: Hands-on experience building and training machine learning models (supervised and unsupervised), ideally using TensorFlow or similar frameworks, applied to animation and/or robotics.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python: Solid programming skills in C++ for real-time systems and Python for machine learning tasks. You are open to demonstrating your expertise in the coding language of your choice during the interview process.
• Innovative Approach: A passion for creating powerful animation technologies and the ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment on a new, high-impact product.
