What We're Looking For
  • Courage and grit to tackle some of the hardest problems in embodied AI.
  • Enthusiasm for working collaboratively in a high paced team environment.
  • Experience with deep learning frameworks (Pytorch, JAX, TensorFlow, etc.)
  • Experience with cloud computing to develop models, manage data, etc. (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Strong understanding of the state of the art research in robot learning (behavior cloning and reinforcement learning for manipulation, world models, etc.).
  • Understanding of the challenges of deploying neural network models in the real world.
  • Capable of writing high-quality software.
  • Thrive in fast-paced and ambiguous environments.
  • Strong first principles thinker.

Preferred or Bonus Qualifications
  • An advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in computer science, robotics, machine learning, or another related field.
