About the role
Building environments and training agents, the full-time Robotics Research Engineer will collaborate with external robotics teams to develop simulations, evaluations, and post-training methods using reinforcement learning and multimodal perception, with the flexibility to work remotely or from locations such as San Francisco, London, or New York.
Key responsibilities:
Develop simulation and real-world environments for training and evaluation of long-horizon embodied tasks
Train agents to adapt and recover from failures while adhering to safety and hardware constraints
Implement training loops that integrate offline and online reinforcement learning with feedback mechanisms
Required qualifications:
Experience in robotics, embodied AI, reinforcement learning, or related fields
Hands-on experience with model training, evaluation, and experimental loops
Strong Python programming skills and ability to create shareable artifacts
Demonstrated experimental judgment and the ability to adapt based on evidence
Proven track record of exceptional work, such as publications or open-source contributions
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.
