About the role

Are you passionate about advancing the state of artificial intelligence and machine learning?
Our rapidly growing startup is seeking an AI Research Engineer to join our Foundational Models AI team.
In this role, you'll work closely with a small, dynamic team of AI researchers and engineers exploring reinforcement learning, transformer-based architectures, and diffusion models.

Design, build, and iterate on experimental ML pipelines supporting foundational model development.
Implement and train large-scale models, including transformers and diffusion-based architectures, for generative and control tasks.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate ML components into real-world systems.
You'll be expected to design, implement, and iterate on ML experiments rapidly, contributing to foundational model development that will shape the future of autonomous systems and intelligent robotics.

Minimum 3 years of experience in applied ML research and software engineering.
Hands-on experience training (not just using) large-scale ML models such as transformers or diffusion models.
Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
Must have and maintain US work authorization.

4+ years of experience in applied ML research and software engineering.
Experience designing ML experimentation frameworks and model training pipelines.
Practical knowledge of simulation environments or robotics systems.
While direct robotics manipulation experience is not required, familiarity with robotic systems or simulation environments is a plus.
Understanding of edge compute or distributed ML training infrastructure.
