We are looking for people who have demonstrated incredible findings from top universities or shipped product at top 1% organizations e.g. Tesla, Boston Dynamics etc.

We are seeking a Senior / Principal Research Engineer to lead the development and deployment of next-generation multi-modal AI systems for our robot platform. This role requires a unique blend of deep theoretical knowledge (applied mathematics, computer vision) and hands-on experience shipping large-scale, mission-critical products.

The ideal candidate will translate their expertise in multi-modal foundation models (LLMs / VLMs) into the real-time, physical autonomy required by a robot, driving innovation from architectural concept through deployment.

Key Responsibilities and Impact

  • Robot Vision Architecture : Define and scope the complete vision architecture for our humanoid robot, including sensor selection, onboard compute specifications, and the design of multi-modal algorithms that enable robust autonomy.
  • Foundation Model Adaptation for Embodiment : Lead the fine-tuning, adaptation, and distillation of LLMs / VLMs for domain-specific, real-time applications, enabling the robot to perform complex, language-guided tasks (RAG workflows) in physical space.
  • 3D Perception & Spatial Awareness : Architect and implement algorithms for multi-view 3D reconstruction, Structure from Motion (SfM), and SLAM to provide the humanoid with accurate spatial understanding and the ability to navigate and interact with its environment.
  • Real-Time Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) : Develop and deploy robust, real-time, multi-modal algorithms to analyze and understand complex human activity, intent, and behavior, allowing the robot to collaborate naturally.
  • Full-Stack Deployment : Lead a distributed team in implementing algorithms in Python and C / C++, deploying them as scalable services using Docker, AWS / GCP, and CI / CD pipelines for both simulation and physical robot deployment.
  • Research & Strategy : Drive strategic direction by selecting and evaluating cutting-edge technologies, and drafting patents for core intellectual property that defines the robot's intelligence.

Required Technical Qualifications

  • Machine Learning & Vision for Robotics : Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 10+ years of industry and research experience.
  • Expertise in multi-modal representation learning architectures, including transformers, specifically applied to embodied systems.
  • Deep practical experience with fine-tuning LLMs / VLMs, zero-shot learning, and RAG systems to facilitate natural language task execution.
  • Expert-level knowledge of classical and modern computer vision techniques essential for robotics : 3D reconstruction, object detection, segmentation, and robust tracking.
  • Applied Mathematics & Control Systems

  • Strong foundational knowledge in Statistics, Numerical PDEs, Variational Calculus, and Optimization methods.
  • Experience applying advanced filtering and estimation techniques, such as Kalman Filter, Particle Filter, and adaptive control, to physical, real-time systems.
  • Software & Deployment

  • Fluency in Python and C / C++ for high-performance algorithm implementation.
  • Hands-on experience with industry-standard frameworks : PyTorch, OpenCV, VTK, and CMake.
  • Proficiency with cloud services (AWS, Google Cloud) and DevOps tools (Docker, Jenkins) for scalable deployment of ML services and maintaining data pipelines.
  • Experience

  • Proven track record in a leading role (e.g., Senior Research Engineer, CTO) at a top-tier technology company (Apple, Tesla, Figure etc.).
  • Demonstrated ability to transition technology from research prototype to shippable, production-ready product within an autonomous system context.
  • Seniority level : Mid-Senior level

    Employment type : Full-time

    Job function : Information Technology, Design, and Other

    Industries : Robotics Engineering, Robot Manufacturing, and Engineering Services
