Research Scientist

The role

Research Scientists will lead the effort in developing techniques to advance robotic system capabilities. You will develop new algorithms for training general-purpose robot foundation models and conduct research across multiple disciplines.

What you will do

• Develop new algorithms and methods for training general-purpose robot foundation models.
• Conduct cutting edge research across multiple disciplines (Perception, Robotics, RL / IL, Machine Learning, etc.).
• Work with large scale systems and large-scale model training.
• Collaborate with a team of researchers and engineers.
• Enhance the cohesive research strategy.

Nice to have

• PhD degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Multiple years of experience in conducting research.
• Proficiency in Python and at least one deep learning library such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, etc.
• Publications at top-tier ML, robotics, or CV conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CoRL, RSS, ICRA, CVPR, ECCV, ICCV).
• Deep technical knowledge, and research experience in deep learning, reinforcement learning, robotics, or computer vision.
• Deep understanding of state-of-the-art machine learning techniques and models.
• Experience working with robot systems.
• Experience working with large-scale model training and systems.
