Senior Research Engineer

The role

Research engineers decide what models learn to do next using a live fleet of robots. You will set the path for training methods and design evaluations to ensure results generalize.

What you will do

• Decide which training method to try next as the model roadmap advances.
• Design the evaluation that tells you whether a result generalizes or just fits the case it was built for.
• Turn a promising result into something that runs on the fleet, working with the team that owns training and serving infrastructure.

Required qualifications

• Have taken a training idea from a paper or a prototype to a result that held up outside a benchmark.
• Have worked with imitation learning, reinforcement learning, or a similar method for control.
• Can describe how you knew it was working or wasn't.
• Are comfortable when no method is settled yet and you are one of the people deciding it.
• Write production ML code (Python, PyTorch, etc.).
