We pair classical robotics - kinematics, dynamics, perception, navigation, control - with modern vision-language-action (VLA) models, and we care as much about what happens on real hardware as in simulation.\nYou'll join a small, technically dense team where your work ships to physical robots quickly. If you like the space between \"the model said to move here\" and \"the arm actually moved there, safely,\" this is that job.\nWhat you'll do\nModel and characterize robot manipulators: kinematics, dynamics, coordinate frames, calibration.\nBuild and maintain robot models and simulation environments, and keep sim behavior faithful to the real arms.\nBring up hardware: servo/motor control, sensor integration, teleoperation and data-collection rigs.\nWork at the boundary between classical control and learned policies - turning a policy's output into safe, reliable motion on hardware.\nCreation of data flywheel for model fine-tuning for multiple tasks and embodiments\nSet up evaluation: reproducible benchmarks in sim and on the robot, with honest metrics.\nDebug the messy real-world failures that never show up in a paper.\nWhat we're looking for\n 1-3 years of hands-on robotics experience (industry, research lab, or a serious body of personal/open-source work).\nStrong grounding in classical robotics: forward/inverse kinematics, rigid-body dynamics, trajectory generation, feedback control, transforms.\nExperience with robot modeling (e.g. URDF / MJCF / SDF) and at least one physics simulator (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim/Gym, Gazebo, PyBullet, or similar).\nProficient in Python and C++.\nComfortable on Linux, with Git, and working close to hardware.\nClear communicator who can reason from first principles and validate claims against real data or source code rather than intuition alone.\nNice to have (a plus, not required)\nA portfolio of robotics work - repos, demos, videos, publications, competition entries, or a personal project we can look at.\nExposure to learning-based robotics: imitation learning, VLA models, or RL for control.\nHands-on time with real manipulators and grippers.\nPerception experience (depth cameras, point clouds, hand-eye calibration).\nBackground in optimization or optimal control.\nFamiliarity with the LeRobot / OpenVLA ecosystem.\nWhy join\nReal robots, real deployment targets, short loop from idea to hardware.\nA team strong in controls, safety, and systems - you'll learn fast.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2622,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"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":["Toys, Games & Puzzles","Domestic & Household Robotics","Education AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-27T13:43:33Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-12T11:36:25Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-21T06:06:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":56,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.78,"p_room":0.72,"age_days":88,"expected_fill_days":141,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:mid","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/miko-robotics-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/miko-robotics-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T16:49:06Z","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":24363,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"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":24933},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=24933"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmiko-robotics-engineer"},{"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%2Fmiko-robotics-engineer"},{"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%2Fmiko-robotics-engineer"},{"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/miko-robotics-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmiko-robotics-engineer"}]}
