Research Scientist (Research)

What you'll do

• Research RL topics, including self-play, VLA post-training, and closed-loop RL using neural simulation.
• Collaborate on research publications for top-tier conferences.
• Work with engineering teams to test and deploy algorithms in autonomy and robotics products.

What they ask for

• Strong research record in RL and VLA post-training for autonomous systems or robotics, including publications in top-tier conferences or journals.
• MSc or PhD in machine learning and computer vision with autonomy and robotics applications or a closely related field.
• 1+ year of research experience in autonomy, self-driving, or a related field.
• Technical experience with Python, Pytorch, computer vision, robotics systems, and distributed machine learning model training.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with self-play RL, imitation learning, or behavior learning; VLA post-training; or large-scale closed-loop RL in driving simulation.
• Experience with large-scale RL training infrastructure; Ray preferred.
