Founding Research Scientist

We’re looking for a Founding Research Scientist to shape our robot learning research and turn promising methods into reliable manipulation skills. You’ll own projects from the initial hypothesis through model training, evaluation, and experiments on physical robots, working closely with engineering.

• Develop world action models and robot learning methods, including video-action learning, imitation learning, and reinforcement learning.
• Design controlled experiments to improve task success, generalization, robustness, and data efficiency.
• Train and post-train models on robot demonstrations and multimodal sensor data; analyze failures and identify the data needed to improve performance.
• Build reproducible training and evaluation workflows with clear baselines, metrics, ablations, and experiment records.
• Test policies on physical robots and collaborate on inference, control integration, and deployment.
