Responsibilities

  • Develop learned navigation systems integrating spatial reasoning and semantic goals for robust humanoid behaviors.
  • Build Vision-Language-Action systems for contextual navigation, multi-agent interaction, intent prediction, and safe action in dynamic environments.
  • Design and scale data pipelines and evaluation frameworks for large-scale learned behaviors and multimodal navigation models.
  • Architect, deploy, monitor, and optimize reliable ML systems for predictable execution on physical robots.
  • Collaborate with research and engineering teams to productionize large vision-language-action models and meet real-world reliability standards.
  • Evaluate model architectures, multi-agent strategies, and datasets to shape the embodied-AI and behavior-learning roadmap.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience in embodied-AI machine learning and end-to-end learned behaviors using large models such as VLAs, VLMs, transformers, or diffusion models.
  • Proven experience deploying, monitoring, and optimizing large-scale ML systems for reliable production use.
  • Strong background in spatial reasoning, semantic goals, multi-agent dynamics, crowding, or interactive environments.
  • Proficiency in PyTorch and modern tooling for training, fine-tuning, and deploying large-scale foundation models for robotics.
  • Strong experimental and engineering ability to take behavior-learning concepts from research through deployment on physical robots.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-moving, research-driven environment.

Benefits

  • Stock options with meaningful upside as the company scales.
  • 30+ paid days off, including annual leave, UK bank holidays, and company closure days.
  • Private healthcare with virtual and in-person care.
