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.
