Sr. AI Engineer, Physical AI & Robotics

Bengaluru. Posted a month ago

The role

This person will own client engagements end to end across Physical AI and robotics. They will design perception and robotics ML solutions and build them hands-on through to delivery.

What you will do

Own client engagements end to end including technical discovery, solution architecture, hands-on build, and delivery.
Translate ambiguous real-world problems into concrete perception and robotics ML architectures.
Lead demos and proof-of-concept scoping.
Design and build CV and perception systems.
Own sensor calibration and fusion.
Design egocentric data collection pipelines using wrist/head-mounted cameras, depth sensors, and IMU.
Bridge simulation and deployment via domain randomization, sim setup, and sim-to-real gap analysis.
Evaluate, select, and integrate VLA models, and fine-tune large pretrained models.
Build supporting services like agentic loops, REST/gRPC APIs, and PostgreSQL.
Mentor engineers and translate current research into practical client implications.

Required qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field

Nice to have

Agentic systems and prompt engineering — tool-use agents and multi-step planners.
API development (REST/gRPC, Docker, basic CI/CD) and PostgreSQL.
ROS / ROS2 or equivalent robotics middleware.
C# for Unity-based simulation and tooling.
Fine-tuning large pretrained models under data/compute constraints.
Edge/onboard optimization — TensorRT, ONNX, quantization.
RL / RLHF, motion planning, kinematics, or URDF.
Hands-on with robot hardware (Franka, UR, Unitree, or similar).
Research orientation — tracks arXiv, forms opinions from first principles.
Publications, open-source work, or notable projects in robot learning or Physical AI.
