  • Model robotic manipulation processes to enable analysis, simulation, planning, and controls
  • Reason about uncertainty due to measurements and physical interaction with the environment, and develop algorithms that adapt well to imperfect information
  • Assist with overall software architecture design, including designing interfaces between subsystems
  • Ship production quality, safety-critical software
  • Collaborate with a team of exceptional individuals laser focused on bringing useful bi-ped humanoid robots into the real world

What You’ll Bring

  • Production quality modern C++ or Python
  • Experience in deep imitation learning or reinforcement learning in realistic applications
  • Exposure to robotics learning through tactile and/or vision-based sensors.
  • Experience writing both production-level Python (including Numpy and Pytorch) and modern C++
