Staff Specialist Field Engineer, Robotics

Requirements

• 8+ years experience in robotics systems development, robot learning, or AI/ML for physical autonomous systems, with experience in manipulation, locomotion, or mobile robotics.
• Deep understanding of physical system dynamics, kinematics, and the engineering constraints that govern real-world robot behaviour.
• Hands-on ML capability: able to build, validate, and deploy ML solutions independently in Python using modern ML frameworks.
• Proficient in working directly in JupyterHub, VS Code, Marimo, and W&B Models to build and deploy customer-facing applications.
• Working knowledge of ML approaches relevant to robotics: imitation learning, reinforcement learning, sim-to-real transfer, anomaly detection for physical systems, or trajectory prediction.
• Able to validate ML solutions on physical grounds and identify when a model output violates the constraints of the real system it represents.
• Proven experience leading complex technical customer engagements, managing multi-stakeholder environments, and maintaining executive relationships.
• Familiarity with robot simulation environments (Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or similar) and their role in training and validating robot learning pipelines.
• Able to translate field observations into structured product signals that are actionable for an engineering team.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
• Preferred
• Experience deploying robot learning systems on real hardware, including managing the sim-to-real gap in production settings.
• Familiarity with foundation models for robotics and their application to generalised manipulation or locomotion tasks.
• Experience working with compute-intensive training workloads and an understanding of the infrastructure requirements they create.
• Experience identifying and progressing expansion opportunities within strategic customer accounts.
• Track record of contributing to internal knowledge frameworks, technical publications, or industry forums in the robotics space.
• Familiarity with ROS/ROS2 and associated tooling.
• Wondering if you're a good fit?
• We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams - even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we've found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we'd love to talk.
• You understand why the same neural network that works in simulation can fail on hardware, and you find solving that problem an interesting challenge.
• You want to build AI solutions that run on real robots in real environments, not in controlled demonstrations.
• You are equally comfortable discussing learning a
