Research Engineer / Research Scientist, Robotics and Physical AI

About the Role

This is a hands-on research and engineering role at an early-stage AI data company focused on robotics and physical AI. You will work across learning algorithms, simulation, and hardware to push robot capabilities from simulation into real-world deployment, shaping how robots perceive, plan, and act.

What You'll Do

• Develop learning systems for robots, including policies, world models, and vision-language-action models.

• Build and maintain simulation environments and evaluation frameworks for robotic tasks.

• Apply and advance computer vision and perception algorithms for autonomous robots.

• Build pipelines connecting simulation and real-world robot deployment across real-to-sim and sim-to-real workflows.

• Work with robot hardware, sensors, actuators, and embedded systems to prototype and test capabilities.

• Train and evaluate reinforcement-learning and imitation-learning systems for manipulation, locomotion, or mobile platforms.

• Integrate robot platforms to validate algorithms in the physical world.

• Create tools and infrastructure that accelerate robotics research and development.
