# VLA/WAM Integration & Deployment Engineer

About Flexion At Flexion, we're building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real-world humanoid deployment. We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex-Nvidia, ex-ETH Zürich), and backed by leading international VC firms. In just months, we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities. The role As our VLA/WAM Integration and Deployment specialist you'll turn our VLA and World-Action Model research into reliable capabilities running on real humanoid robots. You will work across the full deployment loop: integrating foundation models with agentic systems, optimizing inference, collecting targeted real-world data, running principled evaluations, and feeding deployment experience back into training. This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who enjoys making advanced models work as part of a complete autonomous system rather than optimizing a single research component in isolation. Key responsibilities VLA/WAM Deployment: Deploy and validate learned policies across multiple humanoid platforms and real-world tasks. Fast
