Robotics Engineer position in Redmond, 98052, responsible for creating, deploying, and maintaining AI and machine learning models in support of Embodied AI and Robotics research.

Job Title: AI Engineer - Automation/Robotics 3

The main function of an AI Engineer- Robotics is to be responsible for creating, deploying, and maintaining AI and machine learning models. This specific role will be in support of Embodied AI and Robotics research.

Purpose of the Team:

Our team is working on advancing the state of the art in robotic learning and foundation models.

Job Responsibilities:
  • Fine-tune and improve a variety of sophisticated software implementation projects
  • Architect, design and implement our test automation infrastructure.
    Develop training and evaluation pipelines using Azure Machine Learning
  • Analyze and refine training datasets for robotic and AI applications
    Develop tools to provide fast deployment of novel algorithms in simulation and on hardware.
  • Integrate robotic control and perception stacks with simulation frameworks

Qualifications:
  • Masters degree in a technical field such as computer science, computer engineering or related field required
  • 5-7 years of related experience required
    A solid foundation in computer science, with strong competencies in data structures, algorithms, and software design
  • Experience with using simulation environments or robotic hardware
    Experience performing in-depth troubleshooting and unit testing with both new and legacy production systems
  • Experience in programming and experience with problem diagnosis and resolution
  • Background in machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch

Explain a typical day in the role.:
  • A typical day would include integrating a new simulation or robotic arm with our robotic learning framework by adapting our server/client code to the new API.
  • Followed by collecting and converting demonstrations in that environment into the correct format for training a model.
  • Finally launch finetuning runs of our internal VLAs and baseline external VLAs to be evaluated the next day.

What is the ideal background of a candidate for this role?:

A candidate familiar with training robotic models such as vision-language-action models, diffusion models, reinforcement learning policies. In addition, familiarity with either simulation environments or robotic hardware is necessary for system integration.

What are unique selling points that would get candidates interested in your role over another?:

Our team is working on advancing the state of the art in robotic learning and foundation models. Candidates will get to work with an agile and dynamic team and have the ability dramatically impact the direction of the research.

How will contractor performance be measured?:

Performance will be measured by impact on research objectives. This includes developing new features, performing evaluations, or creating documentations. We practice an agile task planning process where we collaboratively decide on duration and priority of tasks that make progress and impact clear to both parties.
