Overview:We are looking for a world-class
Senior Research Scientist to join our R&D hub in the
Boston area. In this role, you will be at the forefront of developing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models that enable robots to understand and interact with the world with unprecedented generalization. You will work on the intersection of large-scale foundation models and real-world robotic execution, bridging the gap between state-of-the-art research and deployed embodied intelligence.
Your Responsibilities:Research & Development:- Design, implement, and scale VLA models and foundation architectures for robotic manipulation and navigation.
Scaling Laws & Data:- Develop strategies for multi-modal data collection, synthetic data generation, and efficient fine-tuning of large-scale models.
Algorithm Optimization:- Optimize model inference for real-time robotic applications without compromising reasoning capabilities.
Publication & Visibility:- Contribute to the global research community by publishing high-impact papers at top-tier conferences (NeurIPS, CVPR, ICRA, CoRL, etc.).
Collaboration:- Work closely with the Core Robotics and Hardware teams to integrate AI models into our physical platforms.
Qualifications:Academic Excellence:- PhD or Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field, with a focus on Deep Learning and Computer Vision.
Proven Research Track Record: - Significant publications and citations at major conferences such as NeurIPS, CVPR, ICCV, ICRA, IROS, or CoRL.
Professional Background: - Experience working in leading AI research environments
Technical Mastery: - Deep expertise in PyTorch or JAX, experience with Transformers, Diffusion Models, and Large Language Models (LLMs).
Domain Knowledge: - Strong understanding of Vision-Language models and their application to Action/Control loops in robotics.
Location:Boston, Massachusetts: - This role is based in our Boston office, offering a vibrant ecosystem for robotics and AI.
