Mind Robotics builds intelligent, broadly capable robots for industrial deployment in high-impact environments. Backed by Accel, Kleiner Perkins and a16z.
About the role
At Mind Robotics, we’re building generalized physical AI —robotic systems capable of dexterous, adaptive, and reasoning-intensive work in real-world industrial environments. Our models sit at the core of this effort, bridging cutting-edge foundation model techniques with real-world robotic execution. We’re looking for a Research & Modeling Engineer to build and train the core models that power our systems, and ensure they perform reliably on real robots in production environments.
What they're looking for
- Built and trained large-scale models (LLMs, VLMs, or robotics foundation models)
- Deep understanding of modern ML, training dynamics, and optimization at scale
- Experience with distributed systems and data pipelines for large-scale training
- Comfortable operating end-to-end: from data → model → real-world deployment (including robots)
- Domain strength in at least one: robotics, VLA systems, or training LLMs/VLMs from scratch
- Strong Python proficiency
More about this role
Mind Robotics is building Physical AI for real-world industrial deployment, starting with the factory floor. We believe the hardest problems in AI are solved when researchers and engineers are hands-on with the physical world every day - and we're looking for people who are passionate about robotics, value ownership, and are excited to tackle difficult problems. Join us if you want to move beyond digital intelligence and put intelligence into motion.
