Robotics Engineer – Simulation & Stylized Humanoid Walk

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

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
