About Arbrea Labs<\/b><\/h2>\n

Arbrea Labs is an ETH spin-off from the Computer Graphics Lab at <\/span>\u0110\u1ea1i h\u1ecdc ETH Zurich<\/span><\/a>. We are a team of specialists in computer graphics, computer vision, physically based simulation, and artificial intelligence, building state-of-the-art AI, AR, and 3D tools for medical aesthetics and plastic surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our software lets surgeons and aesthetic doctors capture a patient with an iPad or iPhone and, in well under two minutes, generate a digital human avatar to pre-visualize potential outcomes for breast, facial, and body procedures improving communication, trust, and patient satisfaction. Our products, including the Arbrea Suite<\/a>, Arbrea Breast<\/a>, Arbrea Face<\/a>, Arbrea Body<\/a>, v\u00e0 myArbrea<\/a>, are used by leading clinics worldwide, and our new Arbrea 3.0<\/a> release brings them together into one seamless ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Backed by world-class talent from ETH Zurich and Disney Research and supported by Innosuisse and Venturelab, we are looking to expand our team with key people who have strong technical skills and a real drive to learn and get involved in a start-up environment. We consider full-time candidates as well as interns who may transition fully into the team.<\/span><\/p>\n

About the Role<\/b><\/h2>\n

As an Applied Research Engineer with focus on 3D generation & physically based simulation at Arbrea Labs, you will build the engines and the data generation pipelines that make our digital human avatars look and behave like real bodies. Your work sits at the interface between research and production: generating large-scale synthetic 3D human data to train our reconstruction and simulation AI models, and developing physically based simulations of soft tissue, implants, and body deformation that drive realistic, real-time surgical outcome previews across devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

As one of the key people on the team, you will have a strong influence on the core technology behind our entire product ecosystem. This will give you, together with the team, the opportunity to grow into world leaders in AI- and AR-driven medical aesthetics. You will work with friendly, passionate, and easy-going colleagues who are very willing to offer guidance and have a beer at regular team events. The environment is flexible, with offices in a leading technology hub, attractive salaries, and employee participation plans.<\/span><\/p>\n
