Develop next-generation spatial understanding systems for robot locomotion and manipulation
Build open-ended navigation powered by Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models
Design large-scale data pipelines and auto-labelling systems for multimodal training
Implement scene understanding and 3D reconstruction for persistent spatial memory
Integrate large vision-language models into real-world robotic platforms
Evaluate new model architectures, datasets, and benchmarks to guide embodied AI strategy
Collaborate with robotics, research, and platform engineering teams
Requirements:
Strong experience in machine learning for vision, robotics, or embodied AI
Deep expertise in scene understanding, spatial reasoning, or 3D perception
Hands-on experience with large models (VLMs, VLAs, transformers, diffusion, multimodal models)
Advanced PyTorch skills and experience deploying large-scale ML systems
Strong research and experimentation mindset - from concept to production
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, research-driven startup environment
What we offer:
Competitive salary plus stock options
Relocation assistance
