Research assistant Jobs in Karlsruhe

neoBIM is a well-funded start-up software company revolutionizing the way architects design buildings with our innovative BIM (Building Information Modelling) software. As we continue to grow we are building a small and talented team of developers to drive our software forward.

This internship focuses on the application of Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) to architectural design and spatial generation problems. The role involves developing generative AI models that can sample diverse constraint-aware architectural solutions supporting early-stage design exploration and research-driven prototyping.

The position is suitable for Masters-level students interested in the intersection of architecture AI and computational design and may be aligned with academic research or thesis work.

Tasks

Implement GFlowNet-based generative models for architectural design tasks

Represent architectural layouts massing or spatial graphs as sequential decision processes

Design and test reward functions encoding architectural constraints and objectives

Generate and evaluate multiple architectural design alternatives

Analyze results in terms of diversity feasibility and performance

Compare GFlowNet approaches with baseline generative or reinforcement learning methods

Contribute to documentation experiments and research deliverables
