Were looking for a motivated research engineer to help build the next generation of AI-powered robots through high-fidelity simulation and large behavior models. Youll work at the intersection of machine learning computer vision robotics and physics-based simulation to enable scalable generalizable robot policy development. Experience with simulation or embodied systems (robots autonomous vehicles etc.) is a strong plus.
If our mission of revolutionizing robot learning through simulation and large behavior models resonates with you wed love to talk about how we can build it together.
Responsibilities
Develop and manage physics-based robot simulation environments using Drake enabling scalable training and evaluation of learning-based behavior models in realistic physically grounded scenarios.
Integrate and validate learned policies in simulation assessing real-world applicability generalization and performance across diverse environments tasks geometries and sensor viewpoints.
Build improve and robustify end-to-end integrated ML pipelines for training multimodal (language images 3D video actions) models at scale.
Train fine-tune and serve robot foundation models with a strong MLOps approach.
Build processes for integrating collaboration-produced and open-source advancements and code into our internal stack.
Collaborate with internal research scientists and our partner labs at top academic institutions and Toyota research labs to drive groundbreaking research at scale.
Qualifications
2 years of professional engineering experience at an AI/ML-focused organization.
Strong proficiency in Python and experience with simulation frameworks such as Drake PyBullet MuJoCo or similar.
Hands-on experience with robotics simulation reinforcement learning or large-scale machine learning.
Familiarity with the latest methods in behavior learning and/or computer vision.
Experience integrating ML models into simulated or real-world environments.
Extensive practical experience with PyTorch.
Ability to alternate between rapid prototyping and production-quality implementation.
Demonstrated understanding of software engineering best practices including testing CI/CD and documentation.
Bonus Qualifications
Experience deploying models on embodied systems/robots.
Experience working in mixed teams of research scientists and engineers.
Exposure to MLOps tools and infrastructure (e.g. Docker EC2 S3 Sagemaker).
Experience with Bazel.
