Ideal candidate

Experimental robotics researcher who loves owning ambiguous real-world problems and turning partner workflows into robust agents. You care about careful evaluation, sim-to-real transfer, and building systems others can use.

Requirements

• Experience in robotics, embodied AI, RL, imitation learning, control, world models, simulation, computer vision or related physical-world systems
• Hands-on experience building and debugging model-training, post-training, agent or evaluation loops
• Strong experimental judgment with baselines, trace inspection and failure attribution
• Strong Python and ability to build artifacts others can run, inspect and extend
• Comfort owning ambiguous problems and keeping partners and teammates current
