The Role

At Mind Robotics, we’re building generalized physical AI—robotic systems capable of dexterous, adaptive, and reasoning-intensive work in real-world industrial environments. Our ability to iterate quickly on large-scale models depends on world-class ML infrastructure.

We’re looking for a Research Engineer to build the core systems that enable fast, reliable, and scalable model training—powering everything from experimentation to production deployment.

Responsibilities
  • Design and implement scalable systems for training large ML models

  • Enable efficient workflows for data ingestion, training, and iteration

  • Develop and optimize distributed training systems across hundreds of GPUs

  • Implement strategies for parallelization, sharding, and efficient compute utilization

  • Improve training efficiency through techniques such as attention optimizations, kernel fusion, and memory management

  • Partner closely with modeling teams to accelerate iteration speed and reduce training costs

  • Build internal tools for experiment tracking, monitoring, and debugging

  • Implement systems for tracking training performance, failures, and resource utilization

  • Debug and resolve bottlenecks across the training stack

  • Provide lightweight infrastructure support for deploying and running models in production environments

  • Optimize inference performance and reliability where needed

  • Support core cloud infrastructure needs for training workloads (without heavy DevOps overhead)

  • Manage compute resources efficiently across training jobs

Qualifications
  • Strong experience building infrastructure for large-scale ML training

  • Deep understanding of how modern LLM/VLM systems are trained and scaled

  • Proven experience setting up and scaling distributed training across hundreds of GPUs

  • Strong understanding of parallelization strategies (data, model, pipeline parallelism)

  • Strong proficiency in Python programming

  • Expert-level proficiency in PyTorch and/or JAX

  • Strong understanding of techniques like attention optimization, kernel fusion, and efficient memory usage

Nice to Have
  • Experience supporting inference systems in production

  • Familiarity with robotics or embodied AI workloads

  • Experience building tools for experiment management and researcher productivity

Skills Required

  • Experience with PyTorch or JAX
  • Knowledge of distributed training and core ML infrastructure
  • Ability to work with hundreds of GPUs
