Job Description:

As a Research Engineer on the Vision-Language Action (VLA) team, you will be responsible for enabling long-horizon autonomous task performance in unstructured environments. You will own the full development lifecycle of autonomous capabilities, from reviewing data and designing models to deployment and fleet-level monitoring. Your work will integrate vision, control, and learning to power NEO's whole-body manipulation and navigation in novel scenarios.

Job Responsibility:

  • Take end-to-end ownership of autonomous capability development: data review, model design, deployment, and fleet performance monitoring
  • Train NEO to perform whole-body manipulation and navigation tasks in unfamiliar environments
  • Design robust evaluation metrics to support scalable model pre-training
  • Experiment with cutting-edge vision-language and generative model techniques to predict robot actions
  • Collaborate with controls, QA, and data teams to deploy reinforcement learning policies to the production fleet

Requirements:

  • Strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with build systems like Bazel
  • Experience using deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch
  • Proficiency in simulation environments like Isaac Sim or MuJoCo
  • Deep understanding of generalization in autonomous systems
  • Experience designing and validating evaluation metrics in real or simulated environments
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with controls, QA, and data teams to operationalize models
What we offer:
  • Equity
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off and holidays
