AI Engineer - Task Planning and Orchestration, Embodied Agents (human)
At NEURA Robotics, cognitive robots don't just execute commands. They perceive, reason, plan over long horizons, and act autonomously in the physical world. Our robotic foundation models handle the physical execution. What sits above them is the agent: the part that works out what a task actually requires, breaks it into steps the robot can carry out, and notices when reality has stopped matching the plan. We're looking for an engineer to help build those agents for our humanoid platform.
Your Mission & Challenges
Embodied agent harness: Design and build the agent that runs on our humanoid platform — the loop from sensor input to reasoning to action, its interfaces to the robot's cameras, depth, and proprioception, and the state management that keeps a task coherent over minutes rather than seconds.
Task decomposition & long-horizon planning: Turn high-level human intent into ordered, executable steps, each with the preconditions, spatial references, and success criteria it needs, and sequence them so the robot can work through a task it has never seen in that exact form before.
Visual reasoning & world state: Use VLMs to interpret what the robot is looking at, ground language in the scene
