What they're looking for
- 4+ years of experience designing and building algorithms for robotics systems
- Experience or familiarity with robot arm manipulators
- Proficient in Python
- Relevant research/work experience in one or more of the following areas: motion planning and trajectory optimization, kinematics and dynamics, and control
- Experience with software engineering tools and best practices in production
- A hacker’s mindset - getting quickly to a good-enough solution
More about this role
We have been quietly building the foundational layers of our Physical AI Scientist platform:
🤖 Physical AI that can operate scientific instruments with human-level dexterity.
🧪 Scientific AI that can analyze results, reason about next steps, and close the loop autonomously.
This is an incredibly ambitious mission, but we believe that a team of ambitious people with high ownership can accomplish incredible things.
We’re a team of passionate, mission-driven engineers from companies like Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX, and Neuralink. We’re collaborative and love moving fast, both with our product and on team trips skiing or go-karting!
As a team, we love nerding out about engineering and robotics — plus other topics like race cars or cooking. We like learning new things and then sharing our new knowledge with each other.
Our team is opinionated and straightforward. We don’t mind intense discussions about design tradeoffs. If we have arguments or miscommunication, we resolve conflicts quickly and empathetically.
