Machine Learning Research Engineer/Scientist

Responsibilities

• Design and develop state-of-the-art robot learning algorithms for manipulation and controls
• Leverage large-scale in-the-wild data collection to develop generalizable robot behaviors
• Own the end-to-end loop from task definition and data curation to model training, evaluation, and on-robot deployment
• Collaborate closely with a full-stack robotics team to develop a consumer personal robot
• Write maintainable, production quality code for research and deployment

Requirements

• 3+ years (or equivalent) working on machine learning for robotics, controls, or perception
• Proficiency with Python and any deep learning framework (PyTorch preferred)
• Hands-on experience with robot learning for real-world tasks, including offline/online training and evaluation
• Implement tooling for visualization, debugging, and evaluation of data and learning pipelines
• Communicates clearly and collaborates effectively, thriving in fast-moving, cross-functional teams
• Familiarity with classical robotics fundamentals (e.g. controls, planning, state estimation)
• Comfortable profiling and optimizing for latency, memory, and compute on edge devices
• Experience with large-scale model training pipelines (LLM/VLM/VLA)
• Even if you don't meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply. Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria - we don't want that to be the reason we miss out on great talent.
