About the role

  • Your work will enable our robots to understand their environment and recognize humans.
  • You will help integrate your algorithms into embedded systems intended to make our robots safe and reactive.
  • In this role you will chart a path by combining the best of ML with modern safety concepts and robot behavior, ultimately creating novel solutions to one of the most important problems in robotics.

Responsibilities

  • Help build the models which allow our robots to operate safely around people.
  • Build, validate, and deploy ML models to detect hazards, humans, and other environmental features.
  • Develop datasets, metrics, and validation plans for ML models.
  • Strong communication skills, including ability to author technical documentation and deliver presentations on technical topics.

Requirements

  • If you are creative, thrive in a small team environment, and passionate about a world where humans and robots truly work together - come join us!

Compensation

  • The pay range for this position is between $173,732 - $225,000 annually.

Benefits

  • 7+ years of experience applying Deep Learning (ML) to scalable real world problems in computer vision or related modalities such as stereo vision, LiDAR, or radar.
  • Experience in the full modeling cycle from research to deployment of modern Deep Learning architectures such as transformers, VLMs/VLAs, and Deep Reinforcement Learning.
  • Experience with the full lifecycle of deep learning development, including network design, data management, training, evaluation, hyperparameter search, deployment, and validation.
  • Staff ML Research Engineer on the Machine Learning Safety R&D Team, you will join a small cross-functional group developing machine learning models that will enable our robots to operate safely around people.
  • Every day you will help research, design, and build machine learning-based perception & behavior models and algorithms to run on our robots.
  • Work closely with a small team to design and prototype new deep learning based perception and behavior models which create safety features for our robots.
