We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to join our Future of Computing Research team within OpenAI's Consumer Devices group. The successful candidate will work on multimodal perception and authentication, bringing together signals from cameras, microphones, and other sensors.

Responsibilities:

• Research and develop multimodal perception and authentication methods across visual, audio, and other sensing signals.
• Explore how specialized perception models and larger multimodal models can work together.
• Design data, training, and evaluation approaches that improve performance in real-world conditions.
• Study model behavior, robustness, and failure modes across sensing, data, and deployment environments.
• Integrate and validate new capabilities in real-time or resource-constrained systems.
• Work with hardware, firmware, software, and product teams to turn research into working systems.

Requirements:

• Strong background in computer vision, audio or speech machine learning, multimodal learning, or sensing.
• Experience developing specialized machine learning models, larger multimodal models, or both.
• Experience bringing research ideas into practical systems, prototypes, or products.
• Knowledge of experiment design, evaluation building, and model behavior investigation.
• Experience working with sensing hardware, real-time systems, or other deployment constraints.
• Proficiency in Python and PyTorch, comfort with C++ or systems integration.
• Experience with authentication, biometrics, or other privacy-sensitive applications.

Benefits:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts.
• Pre-tax accounts for Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expenses.
• 401(k) retirement plan with employer match.
