We are a cutting-edge robotics startup looking for exceptional engineers.
Role Overview:
We are seeking a passionate and experienced Machine Learning/ Computer vision/ Perception Engineer with a strong background in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for robot manipulation. As a key member of our team, you will help design, train, and deploy advanced computer vision and perception models that enable robots to interpret visual and language-based commands and perform complex tasks autonomously.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and implement Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for robotic manipulation tasks, enabling robots to understand and act on multimodal inputs (vision, language, and action).
- Hands-on experience in training and deploying deep computer vision/perception models, ensuring high accuracy and real-time performance for robotics applications.
- Work with synthetic and simulation data to train models, leveraging these data sources to optimize robotic performance in diverse environments and tasks.
- Collaborate with a cross-functional team to build and deploy state-of-the-art robotic systems.
- Contribute to the design and improvement of training pipelines, data generation, and model evaluation strategies for robotics systems.
Required Qualifications:
- Strong experience with robot manipulation, including grasping, object recognition, and task execution.
- Hands-on experience with deep learning, especially in training vision-based models for robot perception.
- Experience working with synthetic data and simulation environments (e.g., using tools like Gazebo, Unity, or similar) for model training and testing.
- Familiarity with reinforcement learning and other techniques used to optimize robotic behavior in real-world tasks.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment and a passion for pushing the boundaries of robotics and AI.
Nice to Have:
- Familiarity with humanoid robot design and control.
- Experience with multimodal AI systems (vision + language) and their application to robotics.
- Previous work in a startup or similar dynamic environment.
Why Join Us:
- Be a part of an innovative team working on groundbreaking robotics technology.
- Opportunity to grow within a fast-moving startup in the San Francisco Bay Area.
- Competitive salary and equity options.
