Location : San Francisco, California (Hybrid)

About The Role

In this role, you'll push the frontier of visual‑language‑action models. You will play a vital role in our R&D cycle, working hands‑on with real‑world robotic systems. You will shape algorithms, data, training, and evaluation pipelines, turning novel ideas into models that power physical intelligence.

Responsibilities

• Designing and implementing experiments with robotic manipulation systems powered by vision‑language‑action models.
• Prototyping and evaluating robot foundation models for generalization across tasks and environments.
• Developing pipelines for data collection, training and fine‑tuning multimodal models using real‑world and simulated data.
• Collaborating with hardware, software, and ML teams to integrate research into deployable systems.
• Contributing to internal research publications, benchmarks, and open‑source tools.
• Supporting the deployment of intelligent behaviors in physical robots and simulation environments.
