Robotics Engineer – Simulation & Stylized Humanoid Walk

Your Mission

• Develop and refine simulation environments that capture the physics and nuance of humanoid locomotion

• Write firmware, middleware, develop system identification, tele-op systems and whole body control strategies

• Create control pipelines that go beyond stability—designing walks that feel natural, expressive, and adaptable

• Prototype controllers in simulation, stress-test them across varied terrains and scenarios, then bring them onto real hardware

• Push the limits of reinforcement learning, optimization, and motion synthesis to achieve smooth, human-like gait patterns

• Tune models and parameters to close the sim-to-real gap and make humanoid robots move with confidence

• Work hand-in-hand with a fast-moving team building the next generation of general-purpose humanoids
  

What You Bring to the Table

• Strong background in control, dynamics, or machine learning for robotics

• Experience building or extending physics simulation environments (Mujoco, Isaac, Bullet, or custom engines)

• Fluency in Python or C++ with an eye for clean, efficient code

• Creativity and intuition for motion—balancing stability with style in robotic locomotion

• Drive to own projects end-to-end: from prototyping ideas to seeing robots walk in the lab

• Bonus: hands-on experience with humanoid robots, reinforcement learning for locomotion, or biomechanics / animation techniques

• We value exceptional builders over perfect resumes. If you don’t meet every criterion but believe you can have an outsized impact, we strongly encourage you to apply
