Job Description:

As a Research Engineer specializing in Reinforcement Learning, you will be responsible for teaching NEO new capabilities using RL algorithms. You'll work across simulation and real-world robots to build robust behaviors and deploy RL-trained skills into home environments. Your work will play a critical role in making our robots safer, more capable, and increasingly versatile.

Job Responsibility:

  • Own the full stack of engineering tasks: from data engineering and model architecture to delivering polished products
  • Train NEO on a wide variety of manipulation and locomotion tasks
  • Collaborate with hardware teams to bridge the sim-to-real gap for policies trained in simulation
  • Partner with controls, quality assurance, and data collection teams to ship RL policies to production
  • Deploy reinforcement learning-trained skills into real-world home environments

Requirements:

  • Strong programming experience in Python and/or C++
  • Proficiency with PyTorch
  • Hands-on experience with simulation platforms like Isaac Sim or MuJoCo
  • Experience training reinforcement learning policies, particularly for manipulation or locomotion
  • Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, control, data, and QA teams
  • Demonstrated experience addressing the sim-to-real gap
What we offer:
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off and holidays
