About the role

  • Big, hard problems are our everyday work, and our team of intelligent, humble, and driven people make the impossible possible together.
  • We encourage unique thinking and are dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive environment.
  • All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate manipulation, control, and planning algorithms into robotic platforms.
  • Experience building models from scratch and deploying them in real-world applications.
  • Build the Path Forward
  • Our AI-driven systems enable robots to adapt, learn, and perform in the real world closing the skilled labor gap and transforming industries.
  • We go beyond traditional methods, combining perception, reasoning, and control to deliver field-ready AI that is risk-aware, reliable, and continuously improving through real-world use.
  • This role involves working closely with cross-functional teams to design, test, and deploy innovative solutions that improve the performance and capabilities of our robotic systems.

Requirements

  • Ph.D. or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Proven track record in publishing at top conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CoRL, RLC).
  • Experience with robotic simulation tools (e.g., Isaac Sim, MuJoCo).
  • Experience with pose estimation, segmentation, active perception, and affordance-based bin picking.
  • Proven track record of deploying scalable solutions for autonomous robotic systems.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to a diverse audience.

Benefits

  • Work on the development and deployment of behavioral cloning (BC), reinforcement learning (RL), and diffusion models to solve complex robotic tasks.
  • Design and implement vision-language-action (VLA) models for more intelligent and responsive robotic systems.
  • Craft strategies for the entire solution's lifecycle, including data collection, fleet learning, and continuous learning.
  • Develop, optimize, and deploy learning-based methods for robot control and object manipulation algorithms on a fleet of industrial robotic cells.
  • Experience with machine learning techniques applied to robot manipulation.
  • We are seeking a skilled and motivated Machine Learning Engineer with expertise in modern robotics and manipulation to join our Robot Learning team to build agentic AI systems for industrial applications.
  • Flexible PTO so you can take the time you need, when you need it
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 6 weeks fully paid parental leave, plus an additional 6-8 weeks for birthing parents (12-14 weeks total)
