## About the role

This is a hands-on physical robotics role. You take existing robot policies, make them run on our robots and data, and measure honestly what works. Your first goal is a reproducible baseline on real hardware, followed by one measured data or model experiment that tells us something we did not know. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience training or adapting robot-learning policies (for example imitation learning, diffusion or transformer policies, VLAs, or RL), not only reading about them
- Experimental discipline: clean splits, controlled comparisons, reproducible runs and honest reporting
- Experience running learned policies on real robots: sensors, calibration, latency and the failures that only show up in the physical world
- Excellent Python and PyTorch, comfortable with Linux, GPUs and robotics software
- Experience with humanoids, manipulators, mobile robots or other embodied systems
- Fluent English, written and spoken
