Tactile AI Research Engineer, Special Projects (Robotics)

What you'll do

• Implement and train state-of-the-art machine learning models for tactile-enabled robotic systems.
• Optimize and deploy machine learning models on physical systems to bridge sim-to-real gaps.
• Curate and generate training data from simulations and real-world demonstrations of complex contact physics.
• Establish evaluation metrics and testing protocols to benchmark policy performance.
• Document research findings, methodologies, and technical developments for internal and external use.
• Develop clean, well-tested, and optimized code in Python and C++ for multi-language systems.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 3+ years of relevant experience successfully deploying tactile-based policies in robotics.
• 6+ years of relevant experience in robotics and machine learning.
• Strong proficiency in Python and C++ with experience in complex, multi-language systems.
• Expertise in machine learning algorithms and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.
• Strong software engineering skills, delivering clean, well-tested, and optimized code.
• Functional understanding of tactile sensing and haptics technologies (preferred).
• Strong foundation in robot kinematics, dynamics, motion planning, and control (preferred).
