Description
We're seeking a Research Scientist to join our Robotics team, whose mission is to build embodied AI responsibly to benefit people in the physical world. As a Research Scientist, you will design, implement, train, and evaluate large models and algorithms for humanoid robots. Your areas of focus will include algorithmic and model development to improve a robot agent's understanding of its own embodiment and VLA capabilities, learned policies for appropriate responses around people, and responses in atypical situations such as actuator faults. You will also work on Human Robot Interaction, write software to implement research ideas, and leverage your expertise to participate in a wide variety of research, including learning from simulation, reinforcement learning, learning from demonstrations, vision-language-action models, transformers, video generation, robot control, and more.
To succeed in this role, you will need a PhD in a technical field or equivalent practical experience, knowledge of the latest in large machine learning research, and experience working with real-world robots. Expertise in using large datasets with deep neural networks to make real robots useful is also an advantage.
