ML Engineer - Robotics

Department: Engineering

Location: remote

Employment Type: FullTime

About the Role

We are a Series A AI company based in Mountain View, CA, building high-quality training and post-training data, robust reinforcement learning environments, and intelligent agents that bridge the gap between AI research and real-world execution. Our work spans multimodal data, agentic systems, and physical intelligence — and we collaborate closely with frontier AI labs and enterprises.

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'll build perception, planning, and decision-making pipelines that make machines truly adaptive, solving hard, interdisciplinary problems that combine data-driven learning with real-world physical 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 workflows.

  • Collaborate with robotics and hardware engineers to deploy models in live, real-world environments.

  • Continuously evaluate model performance and robustness across diverse scenarios and deployments.

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 such as Gazebo, Isaac Sim, CARLA, MuJoCo, or 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 real-world scenarios.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with reinforcement learning, imitation learning, or adaptive control techniques.

  • Background in localization, SLAM, or advanced control systems.

  • Passion for embodied intelligence and pushing the boundaries of autonomous systems.

Eligibility

  • Must be eligible to work in the United States without company visa sponsorship. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $220,000 – $300,000 USD annually, commensurate with experience.

Location

  • On-site in Mountain View, CA. Local candidates or candidates willing to relocate are required. Remote work is not available for this position.
