Keep up to date with state‑of‑the‑art RL/IL methodologies and robotics

Identify, communicate, and drive promising research directions to the team

Find ways of improving existing implementations of RL/IL pipelines with regards to standard metrics such as sample efficiency, speed, computational resource usage, and scalability

Design RL/IL training and data‑collection pipelines to facilitate fast deployment on physical robots

Work with a multidisciplinary team to develop novel algorithms and investigate sources of errors with existing implementations

Desired Qualifications

Pursuing MS or Ph.D. in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Applied Math, or related field

Experience implementing a variety of RL and IL methods with a focus in a specialization such as computer vision or robotics

Hands‑on experience integrating ML models onto a robotics platform

Experience implementing and deploying (dexterous) robotic manipulation tasks in simulation and on physical robots

Experience taking ML R&D and trained models into production

Experience with computer vision systems

Experience in simulation‑to‑reality transfer learning

Skills

Development with Python 3.6 or later

Working knowledge of PyTorch and/or JAX

Familiarity with ROS2

Extensive knowledge of RL/IL principles and use

Traits

Above all else, a consistently positive attitude and a willingness to do whatever it takes to create robust solutions to complex problems

Optimistic listening and conflict resolution capabilities

Demonstrated ability to influence others without authority

Eager to take on new challenges with tenacity and positivity

Patience, persistence, and attention to detail when resolving performance issues
