Machine Learning Engineer, Robot Learning

Build the Path Forward

At Path Robotics, we’re attacking a trillion dollar opportunity - doing things that have never been done before to support an industry hurting from a lack of skilled labor. Big, hard problems are what Path tackles every day and our people are our greatest asset to get that job done. Our intelligent, hardworking team of people do the impossible every single day, yet remain incredibly kind, humble, and always ready to support one another.

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Machine Learning Engineer with expertise in modern robotics and manipulation to join our Robot Learning team to build agentic AI systems for industrial applications. The ideal candidate will have experience in robotics, with a focus on developing and implementing advanced manipulation techniques, motion control systems, and planning algorithms for autonomous robots. This role involves working closely with cross-functional teams to design, test, and deploy innovative solutions that improve the performance and capabilities of our robotic systems.

What You’ll Do

• Work on the development and deployment of behavioral cloning (BC), reinforcement learning (RL), and diffusion models to solve complex robotic tasks.
• Leverage multi-modal data, including image-based data, force, and torque to enhance robotic manipulation and control.
• Design and implement vision-language-action (VLA) models for more intelligent and responsive robotic systems.
• Craft strategies for the entire solution's lifecycle, including data collection, fleet learning, and continuous learning.
• Develop, optimize, and deploy learning-based methods for robot control and object manipulation algorithms on a fleet of industrial robotic cells.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate manipulation, control, and planning algorithms into robotic platforms.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in robotics, control theory, and planning algorithms.
