In This Role, You Might
- Work on foundation models for embodied AI, including large-scale pretraining, post-training, leveraging language, or improving reasoning capabilities.
- Train models on large-scale multimodal (vision, language, etc.) data efficiently in a multi-node distributed system, and evaluate their performance on open (and closed) datasets/benchmarks.
- Lead a high-impact research work and publish at a top tier conference (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, CoRL, NeurIPS, CoLM, RSS, ICRA, among others).
- You have previous experience in vision-language models, large language models, natural language processing, especially around reasoning.
- You have solid software engineering fundamentals, especially in Python
- You have previously used PyTorch or a similar library for deep learning (e.g. Tensorflow, JAX). Experience with multi-node distributed training of large models.
- You are interested in using large-scale multimodal (vision, language, etc.) datasets to improve embodied AI.
- You have previous publications in the following conferences (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, CoRL, NeurIPS, CoLM, RSS, ICRA, among others).
- You are currently pursuing a graduate degree in a Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or related technical field.
- You are proficient in at least one backend/systems programming language (e.g. Python, Ruby, Java, etc).
