About the role
Deft Robotics is seeking a skilled researcher/engineer to design and implement robot autonomy software stacks for grasping and dexterous manipulation in unstructured environments. You will explore state-of-the-art learning policies, including reinforcement and imitation learning, and deploy optimized, high-speed software for production use.
The role requires deep ML expertise, 3+ years of experience deploying ML systems, and strong experience with model lifecycle management.
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.
