About the role
- This role spans the full robotics stack-from evaluating foundation models and policies in simulation, to training world models, to deploying and operating physical robots.
- This is a highly hands-on role combining robotics engineering, machine learning, simulation, and hardware deployment.
Responsibilities
- Design evaluation frameworks for robotic reasoning, planning, manipulation, and navigation
- Build infrastructure for large-scale simulation-based testing and validation
- Develop and train world models that enable robots to understand and predict environment dynamics
- Develop workflows connecting simulation, training infrastructure, and deployed robotic systems
- Set up, integrate, and maintain robotic hardware platforms
Requirements
- Experience working with physical robotic systems
- Experience with robotic simulation platforms such as Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Habitat, Gazebo, or similar
- Experience deploying software onto real robotic hardware
- Comfort working in a fast-moving research and engineering environment
Benefits
- Build systems that learn from multimodal robot data including vision, depth, state, and actions
Company info
- Moonlake's vision extends beyond simulation.
- We believe the future of robotics will be powered by world models that can learn in simulation and transfer seamlessly to the physical world.
- This role sits at the center of that mission.
- You will help evaluate robotic intelligence in simulation, train the models that power robotic understanding, and deploy those systems onto real robots operating in the physical world.
- Your work will directly shape how future robotic systems learn, reason, and act.
- We are committed to being an on-site, in-person team currently based in San Francisco.
