Mid–Senior | Robotics | Applied Research & Deployment We are hiring a Mid–Senior AI Engineer to join our AI team and work on large language, vision-language, and vision-language-action models for robotic autonomy. This role will focus on improving the robot’s reasoning, planning, and autonomous decision-making capabilities using modern foundational AI models. You will collaborate closely with the AI, robotics, and embedded software teams to build intelligent robotic capabilities end to end — from model development and evaluation to integration and deployment on real robots with onboard compute. What You’ll Do• Design, develop, and deploy LLM-, VLM-, and VLA-based systems for robotic reasoning, planning, perception, and action. • Build agentic and multi-agent systems for robotic decision-making and task execution. • Develop human–robot interaction capabilities using language, vision, and multimodal inputs. • Fine-tune, adapt, evaluate, and deploy foundation models for real-world robotic use cases. • Integrate AI models with perception, navigation, control, and ROS-based robotic systems. • Work on model deployment for fully onboard and hybrid edge/cloud compute scenarios. • Build evaluation pipelines for robot autonomy, model behavior, task success, reliability, and safety. • Collaborate with embedded software and robotics engineers to connect high-level AI systems with real-time robot execution. • Translate research ideas into practical, robust systems that operate on physical robots.
