Job description: Dexterous Manipulation RL

Reinforcement learning is transforming our robotic intelligence, enabling autonomous behavior without human guidance. We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer with deep expertise in reinforcement learning and deep learning, including supervised and self-supervised learning with a focus on dexterous manipulation. Your role will involve leveraging both simulated and real-world data to address practical challenges in dynamic grasping, contact-rich manipulation, and object interaction. If you are passionate about advancing AI and developing innovative solutions, join us in shaping the future of intelligent robotics.

What you’ll be doing

  • Develop cutting-edge reinforcement learning algorithms to enable robust, contact-rich dexterous manipulation, translating vision, depth, tactile, and proprioceptive sensor input into precise end-effector and joint-level motor commands.

  • Design, test, and refine algorithms to solve complex real-world manipulation challenges, such as handling diverse package form factors, dynamic hand-offs, and operating door handles or latches.

  • Collaborate with the foundation model team to innovate methods that leverage both simulated and real-world data.

    • What you must have

  • Strong background in robotic manipulation, including dynamics, grasp synthesis, and trajectory optimization.
  • Master’s degree or higher in a relevant field such as Engineering, Robotics, or Machine Learning.
  • A minimum of five years of industry or research experience, with PhD experience applicable.
  • Strong deep learning fundamentals, including supervised and self-supervised learning techniques, and reinforcement learning, including Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), neural network architectures, policy optimization algorithms, model-based vs. model-free RL, exploration-exploitation strategies, value function methods, transfer learning, domain adaptation, sim-to-real transfer, etc.
  • Strong background in robotics including autonomy and/or manipulation.
  • Experience with deploying artificial neural networks on hardware platforms.
  • Ability to write production-level code in modern C++.
  • Ability to prototype algorithms and train deep neural networks in Python.

    • Get some bonus points

  • PhD degree in Robotics, Engineering, Computer Science, Machine Learning or a similar discipline, or an equivalent amount of research experience.

  • Publications at top-tier conferences (e.g., ICRA, IROS, CoRL, RSS) specifically focusing on robotic manipulation, grasping, or contact-rich RL.

  • Demonstrated experience working with tactile sensing, multi-fingered robotic hands, or bimanual manipulation.
