What you will do
• Run pre-training, post-training and deploy state of the art models on large clusters.
• Generate and curate datasets (image-text, video-text), and build evaluators/benchmarks for perception, navigation and manipulation tasks.
• Develop the necessary tools and frameworks to facilitate data generation, model training, evaluation and deployment.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to tackle complex use cases.
• Manage research projects and communications with client research teams.
About you
• Fluent in English with excellent communication skills.
• Expert with PyTorch or JAX.
• Experience with Vision Language Models (VLM), Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, perception, navigation and manipulation, simulation tools (e.g. Isaac SIM).
• Clean, readable, high-performance Python code.
• Doesn't need roadmaps. Ships.
• Low-ego, collaborative and eager to learn.
• Track record of success through personal projects, professional projects or academia.
Nice to have
• PhD / Master in a relevant field (Robotics, Machine Learning).
• Research experience in robotics navigation, perception, manipulation.
• Contributions to a large open-source or industry codebase.
• Publications in top academic journals or conferences.
• Enjoys improving existing code: typing, tests, CI pipelines.
