About the job

Leads research and development of robotics foundation models and systems, taking them from novel algorithms through integration and deployment in real-world robotics.

What you'll do

  • Drive independent research across robotics, including perception, manipulation, multimodal models, and sim2real techniques.
  • Design and implement deep learning architectures and lead robotics projects from concept through production deployment.
  • Collaborate with platform and hardware teams to integrate, optimize, and scale models for real-world applications.

What they ask for

  • PhD, or a Master's degree and 4+ years of experience in CS, CE, ML, or a related field.
  • Programming experience in Java, C++, Python, or a related language.
  • Experience with patents or publications in top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals.
  • Experience applying theoretical models in applied environments, building ML models or algorithms for business applications, and developing deep learning models.

Nice to have

  • Experience with foundation models or large language models; first-author publications at major or top-tier ML/Robotics/AI conferences.
  • Robotics, computer vision, sim2real transfer, multi-task learning, distributed training, production ML deployment, or large-scale robotic systems; Python and PyTorch/JAX skills.

Tools

Java, C++, Python, Unix/Linux, PyTorch, JAX

AI focus
