About the role
XDOF is hiring a Research Scientist to lead the exploration at the intersection of vision-language models and robot learning. You will guide a project on what data a model needs to reason about and act in the physical world, testing hypotheses with prototyping and experiments that demonstrate impact.
The role emphasizes representation learning with a focus on egocentric video and structured annotations, collaborating with partner labs and pushing the frontier of embodied AI in robotics.
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.
