About the role
- Our short- to mid-term goal is to achieve robust and reliable locomotion in indoor service and industrial environments.
- As a Robotics Algorithm Engineer focused on Locomotion, you will work across simulation, learning-based control, state estimation, and real-robot deployment.
Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy RL-based locomotion policies for humanoid robots
- Design training pipelines including domain randomization and sim-to-real transfer
- Build and maintain locomotion simulation environments (Mujoco / Isaac)
- Design training environments and reward shaping strategies
- Collaborate closely with hardware and actuator teams
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in robotics, control, or locomotion-related roles
- Experience deploying algorithms on real robots (not simulation-only)
- Familiarity with state estimation for legged robots
- Experience working in Linux environments
- This is a highly hands-on role requiring both strong implementation skills and the ability to debug complex real-world robotic behaviors.
- Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States, and verification of employment authorization will be required at the time of hire.
Nice to have
- Experience with humanoid or legged robots
- Whole-Body Control or MPC exposure
- Experience addressing sim-to-real transfer challenges
- Familiarity with Pinocchio, CasADi, or similar tools
- CUDA or large-scale RL training experience
- Up to 10% of travel
- Work on full-body locomotion for humanoid robots
- Solve real-world robustness problems, not toy simulations
Benefits
- Locomotion & Learning-Based Control
Company info
- We are building a next-generation humanoid robot platform with high-bandwidth torque-controlled joints and full-body actuation.
