  • Contribute to foundation models shaping the future of humanoid robotics
  • Train control policies using RL to solve dexterous manipulation tasks
  • Distil many different policies using BC and RL with pixel observations
  • Deploying and debugging learned policies on Atlas

Requirements

  • MS with 3 years of industry experience or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field
  • Extensive Experience training and deploying RL policies for complex behaviors on real robots or simulated characters
  • Excitement for integrating, running, and evaluating their learned policies on the robot
  • Has in-depth knowledge about domain randomization to bridge the sim-2-real gap
  • Strong foundation in Python and modern ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch and Jax)
  • Experience in algorithm design, debugging, and performance optimization

Nice to have

  • A PhD or equivalent research experience in reinforcement learning or robotic manipulation
  • Publications at top tier venues including RSS, CoRL, Science Robotics, ICLR, NeuRIPS
  • Familiarity with behavior cloning and has trained a diffusion policy from images
  • Prior experience with student-teacher training workflows

What we offer

  • Direct access to cutting-edge robots and the infrastructure to run large-scale experiments
  • A collaborative, mission-driven team where your ideas have real impact
  • The chance to help define what’s possible in real-world robotics
