About the role
- As a Research Scientist on the AI Research team, you will own the end-to-end loop of Embodied AI.
- You will leverage our massive, "in-the-wild" multimodal datasets to develop models that don't just move - they generalize, self-improve, and redefine what is possible in unstructured human environments.
Responsibilities
- End-to-End Ownership: Own the full research-to-production pipeline: from task definition and data curation to large-scale training and real-time deployment on physical hardware.
Requirements
- Experience with founding-stage startups or leading small, elite research teams.
Nice to have
- Research Excellence: A PhD (preferred) or Master's in CS/Robotics with a significant publication record in top-tier conferences (RSS, CoRL, ICRA, NeurIPS, CVPR, or ICLR).
Benefits
- Advance the Frontier: Design and implement state-of-the-art robot learning algorithms (RL, Imitation Learning, Diffusion) for complex, high-DOF manipulation tasks.
- Generative AI Expertise: Hands-on experience with Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, Video Generation, or large-scale transformer architectures.
- Deep understanding of classical robotics (controls, state estimation) to complement learning-based approaches.
Company info
- Dyna Robotics builds general-purpose robots powered by a proprietary embodied AI foundation model with top-in-industry generalization and real-world performance.
- Already deployed with customers across multiple industries, our robots do commercial-grade work in the physical world.
- Our team comes from Google DeepMind, Meta, and Cruise, and we're backed by CRV, First Round, and other leading investors.
- At Dyna Robotics, we build technology for the real world, which requires a team as diverse as the environments our robots inhabit.
