We develop GenAI-powered tools that enable robotics teams to create unlimited, diverse training data and realistic evaluation environments. Our team spun out of MIT CSAIL, where we pioneered techniques that trained robots using only synthetic data. We're helping robotics companies transition to AI-native development workflows.\nWe're a lean team of researchers and engineers from DeepMind, OpenAI, FAIR, and top universities including MIT, Berkeley, Caltech, Harvard, and Yale. We've published best papers at top robotics conferences, won International Olympiad medals, and built core systems at leading AI labs. We believe in building complex systems that bring simplicity to our customers.\nGlobal Team: We operate across US and China time zones. We value people who communicate proactively, document thoroughly, and take ownership of smooth handoffs across teams.\nNote: This role requires strong hands-on robotics experience. You'll be deploying and debugging real robot systems at customer sites.\nWhat to Expect\nAs a Robotics Engineer on our Forward Deployment team, you will be the hands-on expert who makes our solutions work on real robot hardware. You'll bridge simulation and reality, ensuring policies trained in our platform perform in customer environments.\nWhat You'll Do\nDeploy and tune robot systems at customer sites\n\nBridge sim-to-real gaps through calibration and adaptation\n\nDebug hardware/software issues on diverse robot platforms\n\nDevelop drivers and interfaces for new robot hardware\n\nProvide technical guidance on robotics best practices\n\nWhat You'll Bring\n3-7 years of hands-on robotics experience\n\nExpert-level ROS/ROS2 and C++ skills\n\nExperience with robot controls, planning, or manipulation\n\nStrong hardware debugging skills (oscilloscope, logic analyzer)\n\nComfort working on-site at customer locations\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with specific platforms (UR, Franka, mobile bases)\n\nBackground in sim-to-real transfer\n\nFamiliarity with ML policy deployment on robots\n\nWe believe diverse teams build better products. Even if you don't meet every requirement listed, we encourage you to apply if you're excited about this role and our mission.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2269,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T06:27:13Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":117500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.122,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":315,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/fortyfive-robotics-engineer-solutions","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/fortyfive-robotics-engineer-solutions.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T12:51:53Z","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":18450,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"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":673507},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673507"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffortyfive-robotics-engineer-solutions"},{"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%2Ffortyfive-robotics-engineer-solutions"},{"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%2Ffortyfive-robotics-engineer-solutions"},{"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/fortyfive-robotics-engineer-solutions\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffortyfive-robotics-engineer-solutions"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":717628}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"fortyfive.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":717628},"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.
