About Scaled Foundations

General Robotics is building general-purpose intelligence for every robot in any form, across any real-world scenarios. True generalist robots need more than just a foundation model. Backed by Khosla Ventures.

About the role

We are looking for strong candidates who have a background in robotics and machine learning, especially with experience in Reinforcement Learning, Whole-Body Control and Humanoid Locomanipulation. This role offers a unique mix of conducting research and deploying whole body humanoid models. Train and deploy RL/IL policies for loco-manipulation tasks that perform reliably in the real world, measured by field task success rate.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Research experience in machine learning, robotics, and computer vision
  • Experience with developing robotics algorithms or machine learning models at scale
  • Programming experience in Python/C++. Good understanding of deep learning frameworks like Pytorch or Jax
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
  • Master's/PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Train and deploy RL/IL policies for loco-manipulation tasks that perform reliably in the real world, measured by field task success rate.

Design high fidelity simulation environments that advance sim-to-real transfer and reduce the gap between simulation training performance and real-world deployment, enabling faster iteration cycles.

Define research goals informed by practical engineering concerns.

Contribute to experiments, including designing experimental details, writing reusable code, running model evaluations, and organizing results.

Contribute to publications and open-sourcing efforts.

Partner with the robot deployment team to ship RL trained policies to production customer sites, owning the entire pipeline from research to deployment

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
