While manufacturers provide the hardware and foundation models, these general-purpose \"brains\" are not yet ready for the specific, accurate tasks of a production line. We bridge that gap.\nWe build a stack that is \"AI Enabled\", but provides safety and reliability through deterministic orchestration.\nWe are not a research lab; we are shipping code that moves atoms. Launched in July 2025 by repeat founders with successful exits, we are looking for engineers who want to take robots out of the lab and onto the factory floor.\nTasks\nWe are looking for a Senior Robotics Engineer to build fully autonomous robots. Our tech stack provides a large part of the infrastructure and core components to build reliable automations with Humanoids.\nHowever, each project needs customizations. Your task will be to adjust our tech stack to the specific use case you are working on. Additionally, you will be further enhancing and extending our tech stack.\nYou won't be writing papers. You will be working on:\nROS 2 Development: Develop and integrate ROS 2 packages to enable reliable communication, control, and coordination across robotic systems.\nData Pipeline & Imitation Learning: Manage the data pipeline and oversee teleoperation and imitation-learning activities to ensure high-quality training data. Manage large datasets required for model fine-tuning.\nReinforcement Learning (RL): Apply RL techniques to fine-tune robot actions, ensuring robust performance on the production line.\nSimulation & Sim-to-Real: Use high-fidelity simulation environments such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Omniverse to train and test agents before deploying them to physical hardware.\nRequirements\nEducation: BS / MS in Robotics OR equivalent robotics experience.\nExperience: 3-5+ years of hands-on experience in robotics, deep learning, or embodied AI.\n Robotics Middleware: Familiarity with ROS2 (Robot Operating System), including navigation, manipulation, and driver integration.\n Core ML Skills: Strong proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX). Experience with Transformers and VLA architectures is highly desirable.\n Simulation: Some experience with physics-based simulators, specifically NVIDIA Isaac Sim or similar (Gazebo, MuJoCo).\nData Engineering: Ability to manage high quality demonstration datasets, automate data cleaning, and build training pipelines.\n Pioneering: Experience debugging hardware/software interfaces on non-standard platforms.\nStrong in Python (C++ is a +)\nProficiency in English\nBenefits\nAbove market salary\nAccess to Cutting Edge Tech: Work daily on the latest software and hardware that will shape our future.\nImpact: Work in real projects with manufacturers to bring robots onto manufacturing floors.\nStartup Environment: We are a fast-moving startup with high growth ambitions.\n Team of Experts: We are a team of experts where every voice matters. Work with professionals that are leading their field.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3003,"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":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T22:58:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":35,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.64,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":40,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/roboservice-robotics-engineer-freelance-mid-level-senior","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/roboservice-robotics-engineer-freelance-mid-level-senior.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T17:57:50Z","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":27470,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4434748},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4434748"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Froboservice-robotics-engineer-freelance-mid-level-senior"},{"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%2Froboservice-robotics-engineer-freelance-mid-level-senior"},{"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%2Froboservice-robotics-engineer-freelance-mid-level-senior"},{"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/roboservice-robotics-engineer-freelance-mid-level-senior\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Froboservice-robotics-engineer-freelance-mid-level-senior"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3365590}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"roboservice.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3365590},"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.
