About the role
As a Machine Learning Engineer, you’ll work on multimodal perception, VLA training, robotics post-training, and downstream policy evaluation. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of applied machine learning, data infrastructure, and robotics, where your work directly shapes how data is collected, validated, annotated, and evaluated.
What they're looking for
- Passionate, mission-driven individuals who have demonstrated exceptional ownership in previous work
- Engineers who want their work to directly impact the next frontier of physical AGI
- Strong ML engineering fundamentals across robotics, computer vision, and perception systems
- Experience with video understanding, tracking, pose estimation, robotics, or real-world sensor systems
- Strong technical intuition and ability to move quickly in ambiguous research environments
- Published research or production experience in robotics, embodied AI, reinforcement learning, motion capture, or vision systems is a strong plus
More about this role
Human Archive is a research lab focused on modeling human embodied intelligence.
Humans are the most sophisticated biological systems we have ever observed, yet we still do not fully understand ourselves. Research into human physical intelligence — including the human hand, proprioception, and vision — remains largely unsolved. Our mission is to recover human embodied intelligence as a learned model. To achieve this, we build custom hardware products, deploy them globally at scale, and publish research. Today, our data is used for robotics and world modeling, but the broader opportunity is advancing scientific research into intelligence itself.
Founded by Stanford and UC Berkeley researchers, we are lean, deeply technical, and operate at extreme speed, taking on unglamorous and conventionally impossible problems that directly unlock step-function gains in model capability.
The deployment of capable humanoids at scale will permanently redefine human labor. Undesirable physical work will disappear, and human effort will shift toward a new era of abundant creativity.
We are building the infrastructure to accelerate that transition by assembling the Human Archive mafia. You will own...
