About the role
We are looking for a founding senior Research Scientist with a TL growth path within the Research Group at Applied Intuition. Robotics is a core vertical of our physical AI platform alongside autonomous vehicles — early stage, but with the full backing, resources, and infrastructure of a $15B company behind it. Our vision is for robotics to grow into its own vertical, and the person in this role will play a defining part in shaping that trajectory. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 1+ years of industry research experience, or a completed post-doc in a relevant field
- A strong research record in robotics, manipulation, robot learning, or closely related areas, with publications in top-tier conferences or journals such as CoRL, RSS, ICRA, IROS
- PhD in machine learning, computer vision, robotics, or a closely related field
- Strong technical convictions and a clear point of view on where the field is going — and the self-motivation to drive that vision to execution for a team of researchers
- Technical and professional maturity: able to operate independently as a senior IC and set direction for others
- Passion for scalable, real-world robotics and physical AI, not just benchmark performance
