Software Engineer - Robotics Software Firm in High Growth
Role summary
This role focuses on building machine learning systems for robot learning, enabling transfer from simulation to real-world robots. The engineer will develop policies using imitation and reinforcement learning, design perception pipelines, and leverage robotics simulators. Key responsibilities include integrating with ROS/ROS2 for real-time on-robot inference with safety constraints and establishing robust evaluation protocols for sim-to-real performance. The position requires strong Python and PyTorch skills, with C++ for real-time components, and a background in applied ML/robotics with at least 4 years of experience.
Machine Learning Engineer — Robot Learning
About The Role
Build learning systems that transfer from simulation to real robots. You’ll combine perception, control, and policy learning to enable robust manipulation and navigation in dynamic environments.
What You’ll Do
- Develop policies via imitation learning and reinforcement learning (behavior cloning, PPO, SAC, DAgger).
- Design perception pipelines (multi-view vision, depth, pose estimation) and scene understanding.
- Leverage simulators (Isaac Gym, MuJoCo, Gazebo) with domain randomization and curriculum learning.
- Integrate with ROS/ROS2; build real-time inference on-robot with safety constraints.
- Establish evaluation protocols: sim-to-real metrics, reliability, and repeatability.
Requirements
- 4+ years in applied ML/robotics; MS/PhD or equivalent experience preferred.
- Strong Python and PyTorch; C++ for real-time components.
- Background in control, perception, or SLAM; experience with sensors and hardware-in-the-loop.
Bonus
- Diffusion policies, foundation models for robotics, and trajectory optimization.
