San Mateo, CA

Full-time

Onsite

New Grad, Entry Level

EmbodyX is a Silicon Valley-based startup dedicated to developing cutting-edge robotic AI and software to address the global labor shortage through innovative technologies. The Robotics Engineer will develop and test robotic automation pipelines, implement imitation learning models, and collaborate with the engineering team to deploy policies in real-world robotic systems.

Computer Software

Responsibilities

Develop and test robotic automation pipelines using commercial robotic arms (e.g., ABB, UR, Agile)

Implement and evaluate state-of-the-art imitation learning and policy models (e.g., ACT, OpenVLA, π0, π0-Fast) with Hugging Face frameworks such as •lerobot•

Benchmark policies on latency, generalization, and action smoothness across diverse real-world and simulated tasks

Build and extend task environments in simulators such as Isaac Gym and MuJoCo, incorporating domain randomization for effective sim-to-real transfer

Collaborate with the engineering team to deploy policies in real-world robotic systems and analyze performance in dynamic workflows (e.g., object manipulation, drawer handling, container placement)

Qualification
