About the role

  • We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.

Responsibilities

  • Design training strategies and data collection protocols for fine-motor and multi-finger manipulation
  • Build and evaluate policies that generalize to novel objects and unstructured environments
  • Develop simulation environments and benchmarks for dexterous manipulation research
  • Hands-on experience developing and evaluating manipulation policies on real hardware
  • We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots.
  • Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design.

Requirements

  • Ability to work across the stack from simulation to real robot deployment
  • Familiarity with simulation tools for manipulation (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, Genesis)
  • Experience with skill libraries, language-conditioned manipulation, or task parameterization

Nice to have

  • Nice to Have (But Not Required)

Benefits

  • Research and develop learning-based approaches for dexterous and contact-rich manipulation tasks
  • Collaborate with robot hardware, perception, and learning teams to close the sim-to-real gap
  • Solid ML skills with experience in imitation learning, RL, or diffusion-based policies

Company info

  • What We're Looking For
  • At Rhoda AI, we're building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots.
  • We're looking for a Research Scientist or Research Engineer to advance dexterous manipulation - enabling our robots to perform contact-rich, fine-motor tasks that require precision, physical reasoning, and adaptability to novel objects and environments.
