Research Scientist: Pretraining
Generalist, Boston (Somerville)
The role
You will build the base intelligence layer for robotics. We train large-scale robot foundation models from massive multimodal datasets spanning video, proprioception, action traces, language, and more. You will design and run the core large-scale training efforts that give our models fundamentally new general capabilities across embodiments, tasks, and environments. You will “live and breathe” all forms of robot data.
If you have worked on pretraining large-scale ML systems or generative foundation models e.g. multimodal, language, audio, etc. (not only robotics), then this may be the role for you.
What you will do
- Designing and executing large-scale pretraining runs for robot foundation models (transformer- and diffusion-based architectures)
- Defining model architectures, objectives, and training curricula across multimodal robotic data (vision, action, state, language)
