Work at the forefront of Embodied AI and Spatial AI, collaborating with researchers and engineers to solve real-world challenges and bridge cutting-edge research with scalable deployment.
Develop state-of-the-art approaches in Physical AI, including robotic foundation models, world models, multimodal representation learning, reasoning and planning, as well as imitation and reinforcement learning with integrated low-level control.
Translate advanced problem formulations and model designs into efficient, production-grade systems, enabling rapid iteration through large-scale experimentation.
Design and execute experiments across both simulation and real-world robotic platforms, covering data collection, evaluation, and performance analysis.
Drive closed-loop learning by integrating data, models, and real-world feedback to continuously improve system robustness and adaptability.
Collaborate cross-functionally across research, infrastructure, and robotics systems to ensure end-to-end system coherence and scalability.
Contribute to and lead high-impact research outputs, including patents and publications in top-tier venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, and ICRA.
Job requirements
About the ideal candidate:
PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, AI, or a related field (or Master’s with equivalent research and industry experience).
Strong foundation in generative AI and sequence modeling, particularly in vision-language or multimodal learning systems.
Proven research track record with first-author publications in top-tier conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, or ICRA.
Solid expertise in modern deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and strong proficiency in Python.
Hands-on experience with robotics systems, including decision-making, planning, and control; experience with real-world robots or ROS is an asset.
Experience working with large-scale datasets, sensor data, and advanced architectures such as transformers or diffusion models.
