The candidate is required to carry out research in embodied AI, especially focused on vision-language-action (VLA) models. This includes problem and solution formulation, VLA model training, evaluation, data collection, and related tasks. One key requirement is meeting the strict deadlines in terms of deliverables: model checkpoint, code, dataset, documentation, report, etc. Physical presence will often be required on site. Familiarity with robotic arms, end-effectors, teleoperation, and related concepts is a bonus. Likewise, familiarity with robotic simulation like Mujoco would be advantageous.
Key Responsibilities:
- Problem and solution formulation including coding
- Stay abreast of latest developments in the area
- Vision-language-model training
- Model evaluation
- Data collection pipeline development
- Data collection
- Documentation
Job Requirements:
- Masters qualification degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
- Knowledgeable in machine learning, deep learning, python, PyTorch, and programming in general.
- Knowledgeable in transformers and diffusion and flow-based models.
- Knowledgeable in reinforcement learning.
- Knowledgeable in large language models, vision language models, vision-language-action models, and related concepts.
- Capable of coming up with interesting approaches to solve problems.
- Capable of quickly adapting to new domains/subdomains.
- Good communication skills.
- Skilled with agentic coding.
