Machine Learning Researcher

About the Team

Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that take on repetitive manual work in real environments. Our robotic arms run on tight compute and power budgets, so learning systems have to be fast, reliable, and deeply integrated with hardware.

Our AI team designs and ships the models that let robots see, reason, and act. This work runs on real machines, not benchmarks.

About the Role

As an AI Researcher at Droyd, you’ll own meaningful parts of the learning and inference stack that power our robotic arms. You’ll train models, push them onto hardware, and iterate until they work in the real world.

You’ll work in person with a small, senior team across robotics, controls, and data. Your work will ship directly to deployed systems.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We’re an in-person company. We build faster that way.

In This Role, You’ll

• Architect and build training and inference stacks for models running on low-payload robotic systems

• Design and train new model variants, run experiments, and document results

• Propose and explore n
