Job description

Do you want to build the scalable reinforcement learning framework that powers the next generation of humanoid and quadruped robots? As a Staff RL Research Engineer, you'll own the RL stack, including massively parallel simulation, domain randomization, policy optimization, and on-robot deployment. Your job is to make the pipeline fast, reliable, and reproducible. You'll work alongside world-class engineers and scientists pushing the boundaries of whole-body control and dexterous manipulation.

In this role, you will:
  • Implement on-policy and off-policy learning algorithms
  • Scale GPU-accelerated simulation to generate millions of samples per second
  • Crack sim-to-real to produce policies that transfer to the physical robot
  • Integrate RL with VLAs to fine-tune and distill large multimodal policies
  • Make deployment easy, fast, and reproducible
  • Build visualization tools that enable data-driven research
Required Qualifications
  • MS with 3+ years of experience, or PhD, in ML, Robotics, or a related field
  • Deployed policies on physical robots with attention to latency, robustness, and safety
  • Expertise with RL toolboxes (RSL-RL, CleanRL, RLlib, Stable Baselines)
  • Expertise with simulation and rendering tooling (Isaac Lab, MuJoCo, MjWarp, MjLab)
  • Proficient in PyTorch and/or JAX, plus inference runtimes (ONNX, Triton, TensorRT)
  • Solid software fundamentals: Bazel, monorepos, Docker, CI/CD
The ideal candidate has:
  • Built production-grade RL training pipelines
  • Deep knowledge of GPU-accelerated physics simulation
  • Applied RL to humanoid locomotion, whole-body control, or dexterous manipulation
  • Worked on sim-to-real transfer, domain randomization, or system identification
  • Experience with heterogeneous compute clusters and Kubernetes
Why join us?

Ownership of the company wide RL tools powering all of our robots

Direct access to the compute infrastructure to run large-scale experiments

The chance to help define what’s possible in real-world robotics

Compensation & Benefits
