## About the role

We’re not hiring for a checklist - we’re hiring for exceptional people. If you move fast, think deeply, and love building things that actually work, you’ll fit right in. We’re friends and builders who hold the highest standards for ourselves and our work. Joining us means having a say in everything - the culture, the rituals, the engineering stack, and what our robots look like. You won’t just work here - you’ll help create what “here” means.

- Background in Robotics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field (MS/PhD preferred)
- Experience training large manipulation models (diffusion policies , VLAs)
- Experience developing and deploying learning-based control and perception algorithms on real robots
- Experience with common ML tools, architectures, and workflows
- Strong foundation in classical manipulation, control theory, and motion planning
- Comfort working in small, fast-paced teams where experimentation is constant and results matter
