Responsibilities
Design and implement advanced robot learning architectures (e.g., diffusion policies, ACT, VLM/VLA-guided agents, imitation learning) to support dexterous manipulation, path planning, and autonomous task sequencing
Develop end-to-end policy training pipelines, integrating multi-modal sensory data (RGB, depth, proprioception, force/torque, LiDAR, tactile inputs) with control outputs
Build policy inference and closed-loop control that connect perception, planning, and execution on physical robotic platforms
Apply and extend large-scale architectures—LLMs, VLM/VLAs, diffusion models—to embodied tasks, grounding, and sim-to-real adaptation
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deploy robot policies on hardware, ensuring robustness, repeatability, and safety
Lead data strategy for demonstrations, teleoperation, simulation pipelines, and evaluation frameworks for manipulation policies
Stay current with embodied AI research and share insights internally through discussion, mentorship, and technical presentations
Qualification
Required
PhD in a relevant STEM field, or Master's with equivalent industry experience in robotics, robot learning, or embodied AI
Proven experience building and deploying machine learning models on robotic systems—including training, evaluation, and real-world execution or simulation
Deep understanding of modern AI architectures (e.g., Transformers, diffusion models, VLM/VLAs, CNNs) with strong experience training models at scale
Strong PyTorch implementation skills, including authoring custom modules, batching, debugging, and performance optimization
Practical experience with ROS/ROS2 and integrating learned policies into manipulation or motion control workflows
Demonstrated impact via robot learning publications, open-source contributions, or production robotics deployments
