# Machine Learning Intern

One Robot builds task-specific world models and an evaluation platform for robot manipulation policies. Training end-to-end policies for robots is vibes-based today. Teams collect data, train, deploy on a real robot, find out what fails, collect more, retry. We replace the trial-and-error with rigorous validation that tells you where your policy will fail and what data to collect to fix it. Robotics can't industrialize without an evaluation layer. We're building it. We're based in San Francisco, backed by Accel, YC, several exited founders, and engineering leaders at leading AI companies. We're small and deliberately so - everyone owns a wide surface area and moves fast. This internship is for people who want to work on real problems with real robots, not toy datasets. You'll embed directly with the technical team and contribute to active research across world models, policy training, and evaluation. What you'll do: Contribute to training runs: Work alongside founding engineers on world model or eval model experiments end-to-end Run real-robot evaluations: Collect demonstration data, run policies on physical hardware, and document failure modes Build tooling: Write Python and PyT
