Job Description

 

Who we are looking for:

  • Creativity in new ideas and future focus vision. 
  • Collaboration with colleagues and the community at large.
  • Work Smart, Play Smart!

 

What you'll do:

  • Research, develop, and deploy next-generation Embodied AI systems that integrate perception, reasoning, planning, and action in real-world environments.
  • Design and implement AI models leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs), Vision-Language Models (VLMs), Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, multimodal foundation models, and agentic AI frameworks for intelligent robotic applications.
  • Develop perception, scene understanding, task planning, and decision-making capabilities using multimodal data, including vision, language, audio, spatial information, force sensing, and other robotic sensor inputs.
  • Build intelligent robotic solutions for humanoid robots, mobile manipulators, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and autonomous inspection or service robots.
  • Develop robot learning pipelines using imitation learning, reinforcement learning, behavior cloning, world models, and simulation-to-real transfer techniques.
  • Design and implement intelligent agents capable of task reasoning, workflow orchestration, tool use, and autonomous execution in physical environments.
  • Develop and optimize AI-driven manipulation, navigation, interaction, and autonomous operation capabilities.
  • Build robotic data pipelines, model evaluation frameworks, benchmarking tools, and continuous improvement workflows for Embodied AI systems.
  • Deploy, test, and optimize AI models on physical robots and edge computing platforms.
  • Participate in technical research, proof-of-concept development, pilot projects, and commercialization initiatives.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, industry partners, universities, and research institutions to deliver innovative AI and robotics solutions.
  • Contribute to technical publications, intellectual property development, funding proposals, and strategic technology initiatives.
