About the job
Develop and deploy foundation, vision-language-action, and world models that help robots understand environments, plan and execute physical tasks, and communicate with people.
What you'll do
- Design and deploy VLM/VLA models and generalized robot action policies; develop world models for prediction, planning, and simulation.
- Research multimodal inputs and spatial reasoning to improve model fidelity and robotic precision.
- Integrate multimodal data and optimize models for production deployment on RoboForce platforms.
What they ask for
- PhD in Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field, or a Master's degree with 4+ years of relevant experience.
- Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX.
- Expertise in large foundation models and strong understanding of world model architectures and action-conditioned generative modeling for robot learning.
- Understanding of multimodal models and modern ML architectures, such as transformers and diffusion models; able to collaborate in-office 5 days per week.
Nice to have
- Experience with video generation or prediction models for world modeling or synthetic data generation.
- Publication record at top conferences, expertise in neural network deployment or CUDA, or experience designing scalable experimentation and data pipelines.
