Job description

As an Imitation Learning Researcher, you will work on developing and improving state-of-the-art imitation learning algorithms and methodologies. You’ll design experiments, create datasets, and develop models that enable systems to mimic human decision-making processes in real-world applications. This role involves close collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams to integrate findings into practical applications., Design

  • Design and implement advanced imitation learning algorithms.
  • Develop, test, and deploy models in Python/C++/TensorRT/GGUF.

Optimize

  • Analyze and preprocess datasets for training models.
  • Conduct experiments to evaluate model performance and improve robustness.
  • Collaborate with other researchers and engineers to integrate solutions into larger systems.

Requirements

Do you have experience in Python?, Do you have a Master’s degree?, * Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field., * Strong proficiency in Python and PyTorch.

  • Strong understanding of machine learning principles, particularly reinforcement, imitation learning, behaviour cloning, generative AI (e.g. Diffusion, Flow Matching, VAEs).
  • Familiarity with teleoperation, ROS2 framework and open-source platforms such as HuggingFace, Detectron2.
  • Strong ability to customize algorithm for different use-cases and multi-modality fusion.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Benefits & conditions

  • Flexible working hours
  • Option to work from home when needed
  • A motivated team and an open corporate culture
  • Competitive compensation and excellent career development opportunities

About the company

We build the intelligence that lets robots sense, reason, and act in the real world-moving beyond the lab and into everyday industrial settings like warehouses and factories. Our technology closes the automation gaps that traditional systems can’t solve. We are on a mission to redefine how physical work gets done, and we’re looking for curious, bold thinkers to help shape the future of robotics with us.
