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.
  • We hire across levels - from senior to staff.

Responsibilities

  • Research and develop methods for multi-step reasoning and planning grounded in embodied world models
  • Design architectures and training strategies that improve compositional generalization and long-horizon prediction
  • Build evaluation benchmarks for reasoning and planning capabilities applied to physical tasks
  • Collaborate with pre-training and post-training teams to integrate reasoning capabilities into the full model pipeline
  • Fluency with PyTorch or JAX and ability to implement and iterate on research ideas end-to-end
  • Staff-level candidates are expected to define technical direction and drive research strategy independently
  • 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

  • Experience with test-time compute methods (beam search, MCTS, self-consistency, verifiers, etc.)
  • Strong research taste and ability to identify high-leverage directions
  • Familiarity with long-horizon prediction, video generation, or world model rollouts
  • Experience with embodied AI or robotic planning problems

Nice to have

  • Nice to Have (But Not Required)

Company info

  • What We're Looking For
  • At Rhoda AI, we're building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots.
  • We're looking for Research Scientists and Research Engineers to advance the reasoning and planning capabilities of our foundation world models - enabling robots to decompose goals, plan multi-step actions, and handle long-horizon tasks in complex, unstructured environments.
