This role offers a unique mix of conducting research and deploying whole body humanoid models.\nResponsibilities\nTrain and deploy RL/IL policies for loco-manipulation tasks that perform reliably in the real world, measured by field task success rate.\n\nDesign high fidelity simulation environments that advance sim-to-real transfer and reduce the gap between simulation training performance and real-world deployment, enabling faster iteration cycles.\n\nDefine research goals informed by practical engineering concerns.\n\nContribute to experiments, including designing experimental details, writing reusable code, running model evaluations, and organizing results.\n\nContribute to publications and open-sourcing efforts.\n\nPartner with the robot deployment team to ship RL trained policies to production customer sites, owning the entire pipeline from research to deployment\n\nMinimum Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\nResearch experience in machine learning, robotics, and computer vision.\n\nExperience with developing robotics algorithms or machine learning models at scale.\n\nProgramming experience in Python/C++. Good understanding of deep learning frameworks like Pytorch or Jax.\n\nMust obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.\n\nDesired Qualifications\nMaster's/PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\nDirect experience in robotics, computer vision, or machine learning research.\n\nFirst author publications at peer-reviewed AI and robotics conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, CVPR, ICML, ICLR, ICRA, IROS, CORL).\n\nExperience with high fidelity simulation platforms such as Isaac Lab, Mjlab, ManiSkill, MolmoSpaces etc.\n\nExperience working with training and deploying policies for whole-body humanoid tasks - reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and classical approaches\n\nExperience working with modern computer vision algorithms and sensors (RGB, RGB-D cameras, LIDAR.), 3D (meshes, point clouds, etc.), segmentation, tracking, detection.\n\nExperience with domain randomization, reward shaping, and the engineering needed to bridge sim-to-real gap for humanoid policies\n\nExperience working with real-world deployment of proprioceptive and visual humanoid policies\n\nGood understanding of systems considerations and the ability to factor these into model choices.\n\nAbout General Robotics:\nGeneral Robotics is building the intelligence grid for physical AI - the platform that makes any robot, from robotic arms to humanoids, genuinely intelligent. Headquartered in Redmond, Washington, we're venture backed, including by Accenture, who invested in General Robotics in 2026 to advance Physical AI-powered robotics in manufacturing and logistics, and we're also part of Microsoft's Startups Pegasus Program. Our team's work spans some of the most widely adopted robotics and AI research to come out of Microsoft Research, Google Research and DeepMind - including AirSim, PACT, ClimaX, Tensorflow Object Detection and VideoPoet.\nWork Authorization\nThis role is open to candidates currently based in and authorized to work in the US.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nGeneral Robotics is an equal opportunity employer.
