Robotics AI Engineer

Our team leverages state-of-the-art AI to better understand and communicate with users via semantic and contextual intent understanding. We are looking for a Robotics AI Engineer to bring frontier reasoning and multimodal models to life in real-time, interactive experiences. In this role, you will translate natural user intents into robust, adaptive behaviors. You will work across the full stack of applied AI/ML: prompting and evaluating frontier models, distilling them into efficient on-device models, and deploying them on Apple silicon. A successful candidate is energized by rapidly experimenting with the latest AI models, tools, and agent harnesses, and has a strong foundation in modern machine learning with hands-on experience training and fine-tuning their own models. Above all, this is a deeply product-driven team that values engineers who have shipped real products and are motivated by putting great experiences into users' hands. Minimum Qualifications: BS or MS in Computer Science or Machine Learning Strong background in and deep understanding of modern machine learning methods Experience training or fine-tuning your own transformer and/or diffusion models Proficiency using coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex Genuine excitement for experimenting with the latest AI models, tools, and multimodal capabilities Preferred Qualifications: PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field Experience with model fine-tuning and distillation for efficient, on-device deployment Hands-on experience with inference engines such as llama.cpp, vLLM, MLX, or Core ML Experience building agent harnesses for multi-step, closed-loop reasoning Track record of shipping products to users Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch or TensorFlow)
