About the role
LightSpeed Build Technologies seeks a Robot Learning Engineer to teach robots to perform complex manipulation from human demonstrations. You will own the path from demonstration to deployed behavior, building teleoperation systems, training policies, and proving them on real robots with dexterous hands and custom tooling.
You will shape data collection, refine policies via imitation learning and VLA models, and deploy to real robots with ROS2 control.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
