About the role
- The company's robots are engineered for demanding industrial environments, with a focus on real-world deployment and scalability.
Responsibilities
- Develop and train world models for action-conditioned prediction, long-horizon planning, and environment simulation - enabling robots to reason about the consequences of their actions before execution.
- Develop foundation models with spatial reasoning capabilities to achieve high-precision robotic actions.
- Optimize and deploy models as production-grade solutions on RoboForce robotic platforms.
- RoboForce is an AI robotics company developing Physical AI-powered Robo-Labor for dull, dirty, and dangerous work.
- In this role, you will develop algorithms that enable robots to understand their environment, interpret and execute tasks, and communicate seamlessly with humans - with a particular focus on building and training world models that allow robots to predict, plan, and generalize across complex physical tasks.
- Visa sponsorship and green card support for qualified candidates.
- Lunches and dinners, a fully stocked kitchen, and regular team-building events.
Requirements
- Expertise in large foundation models (VLM, VLA, etc.).
Nice to have
- Strong publication record at top conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ICCV, CoRL, ICRA, or equivalent).
- Expertise in neural network deployment (e.g., TensorRT) and GPU programming with CUDA.
Benefits
- Competitive stock options/equity programs.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) plan.
- Design and deploy vision-language(-action) models (VLM/VLA) for contextual understanding and generalized robot action policies.
- Research approaches to improve world model fidelity using multi-modal inputs including vision, language, proprioception, and spatial representations.
- Integrate multi-modal data sources (vision, language, speech, etc.) to enable natural human-robot communication.
