Are you passionate about using machine learning to drive robot behavior? Curious what you’d be able to accomplish with total access to Boston Dynamics robots?
As a Research Scientist on the Atlas team, you will join a world-class team of engineers and scientists focused on creating next-generation robot mobility and manipulation. Our team is interested in exploring new approaches to programming robot behaviors that leverage the latest techniques in reinforcement learning and behavior cloning. In this role, you will be responsible for defining, training, and integrating learned models with existing subsystems to expand the behavioral capabilities of Atlas to solve challenging manipulation tasks.
How You Will Make An Impact

• Creatively apply machine learning to solve real-world bimanual manipulation problems
• Write high-quality (documented, tested, maintainable) Python and C code
• Lead design reviews and collaborate closely with members of the Atlas software team
• Deploy and debug your code on Atlas

We Are Looking For

• MS in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field
• Prior experience training and deploying learned models to create complex behaviors in robots or simulated characters
• Experience with common ML tools, architectures, and workflows
• Strong analytical and debug skills

Nice To Have

• PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field
• Experience working with and contributing to large codebases
• Experience working with robot hardware
