Senior Physical AI Engineer

Samsung SDS America AI Team is researching the next generation of intelligent robotic systems that operate in the real world. Working with multiple robot hardware partners, we use their platforms to develop complete embodied AI systems, spanning data collection through teleoperation, policy training, and deployment on physical robots in real-world environments.

We are looking for a Senior Physical AI Engineer to join the team developing this end-to-end pipeline. You will work hands-on with humanoid robots, collecting demonstration data through teleoperation, training learning-based policies, deploying them on the physical platform, and iterating through live test runs in real environments, not just simulation. You will also research dexterous manipulation, advancing the hand and grasping capabilities that enable robots to handle complex tasks.

This role sits at the intersection of robotics, embodied AI, machine learning, and production software engineering. You will connect high-level AI models to physical robot behavior, enabling robots to perceive, learn, adapt, and act safely in dynamic environments.

What sets our lab apart is the shared ownership and the path to impact. You will work alongside a small team that takes real ownership of what we develop here, helping shape research directions, building systems directly, and seeing your work move quickly from ideas to robot experiments on real hardware.
