Job description

About the Role

We are a Series A AI/ML data and services company building highly accurate AI through high-quality training data, robust reinforcement learning environments, and intelligent agents for frontier labs and enterprises. Our work spans the full AI lifecycle — from data labeling and post-training to evaluation and deployment — with a strong focus on physical intelligence and embodied AI.

As an ML Engineer – Robotics, you will design, train, and deploy intelligent models that power autonomous systems at the intersection of machine learning, control systems, and real-world robotics. You will build perception, planning, and decision-making pipelines that make machines truly adaptive, collaborating with world-class AI teams to solve hard, interdisciplinary problems that combine data-driven learning with real-world constraints.

What You'll Do

  • Develop and optimize ML models for perception, motion planning, and control.

  • Build computer vision and sensor fusion systems using camera, LiDAR, and IMU data.

  • Integrate learning-based models with robotics software stacks (ROS/ROS2).

  • Design pipelines for data collection, simulation, and reinforcement learning.

  • Collaborate with robotics and hardware engineers to deploy models in live environments.

  • Continuously evaluate model performance and robustness across diverse real-world scenarios.

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • 3–8 years of professional experience in Machine Learning, Robotics, or Computer Vision.

  • Proficiency in Python and C++ for robotics and ML development.

  • Hands-on experience with PyTorch and/or TensorFlow for model development.

  • Proficiency with ROS or ROS2 and integrating ML models into robotics software stacks.

  • Experience with robotics simulation and benchmarking tools (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, CARLA, MuJoCo, PyBullet).

  • Experience designing and deploying perception, motion planning, and control pipelines for autonomous systems.

  • Experience with sensor fusion using camera, LiDAR, and IMU data.

  • Experience with data collection pipelines, simulation environments, and reinforcement learning workflows.

  • Strong ability to evaluate model performance and robustness across diverse deployments.

Nice to Have:

  • Familiarity with localization, SLAM, or adaptive control techniques.

  • Experience with imitation learning or model-based reinforcement learning.

  • Background deploying ML models in real-time or embedded environments.

Eligibility: Candidates must be eligible to work in the United States without company visa sponsorship. No visa sponsorship is available for this role.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary range: $220,000 – $300,000 USD annually, depending on experience.

Location

This is a fully on-site role based in Mountain View, CA. Local candidates or those willing to relocate are preferred; remote work arrangements are not available for this position.
