About the job

Lead offline reinforcement learning research, improve learned control policies, and evaluate findings on physical robots.

What you'll do

  • Set research questions and lead offline reinforcement learning studies through communicating findings.
  • Improve learned control policies and train models on large, uneven-quality datasets using value estimation approaches.
  • Investigate model-based methods, continuous control, and training stability at scale; design rigorous experiments and baselines.

What they ask for

  • Research or applied scientist background in reinforcement learning connected to generative visual models.
  • Published papers accepted at leading machine learning or robotics venues.
  • Expertise in core and offline reinforcement learning topics, including value estimation, goal-directed learning, policy design, and training stability at scale.
  • Advanced degree (PhD or master's) in machine learning, computer science, or an adjacent area, centered on reinforcement learning; ability to work on-site six days a week.

Nice to have

  • Prior exposure to visual generative models applied to robotics; research experience at a top-tier AI organization.
  • Contributions to publicly shared reinforcement learning codebases; experience with large-scale simulation, sim-to-real transfer, or robotics, including JAX.

Pay
