About Dexmate
Dexmate is building the foundation for physical AI - combining a new generation of robots with a universal Physical AI OS, making robots as easy to build and deploy as software. Today, robotics is fragmented, slow, and closed: most builders are forced to reinvent the same stack again and again, and most ideas never make it past the prototype stage. We exist to change that. Our mission is to democratize robotics by lowering the barrier to entry, delivering a plug-and-play platform for developers, researchers, and enterprises, and cultivating an open ecosystem that accelerates the evolution of physical AI.
If you want to help shape the next layer of human capability - and believe the future of robotics should be built together, not in isolation - we'd love to build it with you.
The Role
We are looking for Robot Learning Engineers to build the learning systems that give our robots new skills. You will design and deploy reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and foundation-model approaches for manipulation, navigation, and control - from simulation through deployment on physical robots.
Responsibilities
Design and implement state-of-the-art learning algorithms for robot manipulation, navigation, and control-from simulation to deployment on physical systems
Develop novel approaches to enhance robot dexterity and mobility using reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and foundation models, etc.
Scale ML systems for large-scale model training and fine-tuning.
Build diverse, robust manipulation skills that push the boundaries of what robots can do
Collaborate closely with hardware, controls, and systems engineers to create integrated solutions
Minimum Qualifications
PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field; OR Master's degree with 1+ years industry experience; OR Bachelor's degree with 3+ years industry experience
2+ years of hands-on experience developing AI systems for robotics applications
Deep expertise in modern robot learning techniques (reinforcement learning, imitation learning, behavior cloning, etc.)
Strong proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX)
Proven experience conducting real robot experiments and debugging complex robotic systems
Experience with robot simulators (Isaac Gym, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, SAPIEN, Drake, or similar)
Excellent problem-solving abilities and strong communication skills
Genuine passion for robotics and building products that work in the real world
Preferred Qualifications
Publications at top robotics/ML conferences (RSS, CoRL, ICRA, IROS, NeurIPS, ICLR, etc.)
Experience with vision-language models or foundation models for robotics
Familiarity with sim-to-real transfer techniques and domain randomization
Experience with distributed training and MLOps infrastructure
Background in manipulation, grasping, or mobile manipulation
Track record of taking research from prototype to production
