Jobs at Persona AI Inc

Develop and manage NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Omniverse simulation environments for humanoid robotics, integrating autonomy subsystems and creating CI/CD pipelines for behavior validation.

Lead design and implementation of factory layout, process flow, and assembly sequencing for humanoid robot production. Develop work instructions, specify equipment, implement MES, design metrics/visual management, error-proof processes, drive continuous improvement, perform root-cause analysis, and collaborate cross-functionally to scale manufacturing while maintaining safety and ISO compliance.

Lead build-out of the quality function: establish incoming inspection, supplier quality (PPAP), root-cause (8D), metrology and calibration, ISO 9001 certification, factory and field failure investigations, and visual factory quality systems while collaborating across Supply Chain, Assembly, and field teams with ~40% travel.

Develop and iterate reinforcement learning policies for dexterous grasping on high-DOF robotic hands. Build sim-to-real pipelines, design rewards and curricula, create MuJoCo/Isaac training environments, run and debug experiments on hardware, integrate tactile feedback, and benchmark grasp policies across varied objects and real-world conditions.

Lead commercial operations and strategy supporting go-to-market execution, deal advancement, and partner management—especially for Korean anchor accounts. Drive pipeline hygiene, contract coordination, partner/integrator management, and build scalable commercial processes and dashboards. Act as right-hand to Head of Commercial Strategy and grow into broader commercial operations responsibilities.

Lead product vision, roadmap, and execution for humanoid robotics products. Drive market research, define KPIs, partner with engineering/design/data, manage product launches, engage customers and stakeholders, build and mentor a product team, and drive revenue through product innovation and go-to-market alignment.

Design and build autonomy and behavior coordination for industrial humanoid robots. Integrate manipulation, locomotion, and perception skills; develop plan execution combining classical control and learned policies; implement data curation, synthetic data pipelines, benchmarking, and regression testing for deployment-ready behaviors.

Lead full-cycle sourcing and recruiting for manufacturing, shop-floor, operations, and corporate roles. Build candidate pipelines from scratch using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, trade schools, and local networks. Partner with hiring managers, track pipeline and sourcing metrics, refine TA infrastructure, and deliver a strong candidate experience. Drive employer branding and scale recruiting processes at an early-stage robotics company.

Own day-to-day people operations for the Houston office: administer benefits, process payroll, manage multi-state tax and compliance, run onboarding, maintain HRIS and employee records, build scalable PO programs, partner with Finance/Legal, produce people metrics, and support the employee lifecycle and culture initiatives.

Design and develop Persona's ML software stack for humanoid robots, applying ML to manipulation, navigation, locomotion, and perception. Build, test, and deploy models and data pipelines, monitor real-world performance, collaborate with partners and universities, and help grow the ML and autonomy teams.

Design, train, and deploy advanced deep learning models for dexterous humanoid robot manipulation, integrating tactile and proprioceptive sensing, managing data collection/versioning, evaluating in simulation and real-world trials, and optimizing pipelines for real-time hardware deployment.

As a Teleoperation Intern, you will develop immersive interfaces, optimize data pipelines, build front-end systems for AR devices, and ensure reliability of the humanoid robot fleet.

Design, implement, and tune real-time teleoperation motion control systems (impedance, admittance, MPC) that translate operator intent into safe, low-latency robot motion. Build force estimation and kinodynamic retargeting pipelines, validate and calibrate controllers on hardware, and ensure compliant contact-rich manipulation with strong software engineering practices.

Own and optimize the marketing tech stack and data infrastructure (HubSpot, WordPress, analytics). Build campaign backends, manage email operations and deliverability, maintain CRM data governance and compliance, design performance dashboards, and document processes to ensure scalable, measurable B2B marketing execution.

Work with a mentor to develop simulation environments, design robot behaviors, deploy and log on hardware, implement algorithms for modeling/training/sensing, and characterize sensors and actuators for Persona's humanoid robots.

Design and implement advanced dexterous manipulation algorithms for high-DOF humanoid robots, integrate perception-to-control pipelines, develop digital twins in simulation, perform rigorous sim-to-real testing, and collaborate with ML teams to train and deploy models for complex manipulation tasks.
