This is a role for someone who has already pushed the frontier somewhere, in research, in a top industry lab, or both, and wants to bring that caliber of thinking to robots operating in the real world.\nYou'll help bridge cutting-edge AI research with real-world robotic applications, ensuring that large-scale models can operate reliably in physical environments. This role sits at the core of building robots that can perceive, reason, and act intelligently in dynamic settings, and it comes with real ownership over technical direction.\nYour Responsibilities\nDesign and train foundation models that integrate vision, language, and actions for embodied intelligence\nAdapt LLMs and VLMs for robotic control, planning, and interactive behavior, enabling context-aware decision making\nDevelop AI-driven control policies for manipulation, grasping, and motion planning using reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and foundation model approaches\nBuild modular, scalable, and high-performance data processing, training, and inference pipelines for large-scale datasets\nDesign reproducible workflows for training, evaluation, and deployment, including benchmarking for generalization, safety, and task success\nPush the state of the art and bring it into production - this includes staying current with (and ideally contributing to) the research literature, and translating advances into systems that actually ship\nTechnologies\nPython, C++\nPyTorch (or TensorFlow / JAX)\nTransformer-based models (LLMs, VLMs, multimodal architectures)\nDistributed training frameworks\nLinux, Docker (Kubernetes nice to have)\nML pipelines and model deployment systems\nRequirements\nMust Have\nMasters or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, AI, or a related field, with 5+ years of industry experience applying that research to production systems \nA demonstrated track record: this means having shipped ML systems that operate at real scale or in the real world\nDeep, hands-on expertise with transformer-based architectures (LLMs, VLMs, multimodal models) \nStrong software engineering skills (clean code, testing, system design, CI/CD) alongside strong Python and C++ \nProduction experience with PyTorch (or TensorFlow / JAX) at scale\nA strong mathematical and statistical foundation\nExperience with reinforcement learning or imitation learning applied to real systems\nComfort operating with significant autonomy and navigating ambiguity\nNice to Have\nDirect robotics experience (perception, control, or manipulation systems)\nExperience with distributed training at scale (multi-node, large clusters)\nKubernetes or large-scale deployment systems in production\nA recognized research profile - publications, patents, or open-source contributions with real traction in the AI/robotics community\nBenefits\nCompetitive compensation package\nVarious employee subsidies and perks, including public transportation and Wellpass\nWork with a world-class team in a flat hierarchy, with direct collaboration alongside the founders and engineering team\nOpportunity to make a real impact by working on cutting-edge robotics and AI systems\nFast growth potential in a rapidly evolving company and industry\nInternational office environment with English as the official working language\nRecruiting Process\nYour recruiting partner for this role is Madhulika (she/her). You can expect a screening call, 2 virtual technical interviews, and a final onsite visit to our office in Munich to meet with the team.\nWe hire across backgrounds, identities, and experiences, and we are committed to a workplace where everyone belongs. Discrimination has no place here.\nIf you need any accommodations during the recruiting process, just reach out to your recruiting partner.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3938,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":true}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotics AI","Humanoid Robots"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T17:06:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.52,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":61,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/animore-senior-aiml-engineer-fmd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/animore-senior-aiml-engineer-fmd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T02:04:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3127,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":669354},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=669354"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fanimore-senior-aiml-engineer-fmd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fanimore-senior-aiml-engineer-fmd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fanimore-senior-aiml-engineer-fmd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/animore-senior-aiml-engineer-fmd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fanimore-senior-aiml-engineer-fmd"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":755536}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"animore.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":755536},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
