- Expertise in training large-scale multimodal models, imitation learning, or generative world models for robotics.
Preferred:
- Experience troubleshooting and deploying algorithms on physical robot platforms, especially mobile and humanoid form factors.
- Experience working with large-scale datasets or specialized data collection approaches.
- Experience with large-scale cluster training and maintaining high-quality codebases.
- Strong grasp of Lie groups, optimization, or transformer architectures.
Benefits
- Hourly pay range of $30-$45, depending on experience and qualifications.
