Responsibilities

Train robot policy models for naturalistic walking using techniques like DeepMimic or AMP to achieve robust locomotion and expressive emotes
Iterate on model performance and training environment to bridge the sim2real gap with our custom hardware
Test and validate model performance on the physical robot, troubleshooting issues that span from the model's "understanding" to its physical execution
Collaborate with our hardware and software teams to integrate the ML-driven behaviors into the robot's autonomy stack

Qualification

Required

Academic status: currently enrolled in a graduate-level (MS or PhD) computer science or robotics degree program
ML Skillset: Proven experience training robotic locomotion policy models from scratch on new hardware. Hands-on experience deploying models onto real-world robots
Robotics Skillset: Familiarity with robotics middleware (like ROS/ROS2) and the challenges of working with physical hardware (sensors, actuators)
A portfolio of projects (e.g., from GitHub, a personal blog, or academic papers) demonstrating hands-on robotics and ML integration
Technical Excellence: Deep knowledge of modern ML and robotics with a demonstrated ability to design, implement, test, and iterate quickly
Product Focus: You believe in home robotics and will do whatever it takes to make the robot's behaviors reliable and delightful for our customers

Preferred

Experience specifically with training bipedal locomotion policies, especially in IsaacSim/IsaacLab
Experience with generating physically realistic but expressive motion using character control techniques

Benefits

The opportunity to play a critical role in developing the future of home robotics.
Work alongside people with deep expertise who love playful applications and are excited about building the future.
Freedom to rapidly iterate, contribute to the technical direction of the company, and contribute novel and impactful solutions to important problems in robotics.
