## Description

Our Helix team is responsible for developing the core AI systems that power humanoid autonomy. We are looking for a Helix AI Engineer, Modeling to design and advance the core model architectures and learning approaches that enable perception, reasoning, and action in embodied systems.

This role focuses on developing new modeling approaches across vision, language, and action-spanning representation learning, multimodal fusion, and model capabilities that directly impact robot intelligence.
Responsibilities

 * Design and develop model architectures for perception, reasoning, and action across multimodal inputs (e.g., vision, language, proprioception)
 * Build models that learn structured representations of the world, including objects, dynamics, and interactions
 * Advance multimodal learning approaches, including fusion, alignment, and cross-modal reasoning
 * Improve model capabilities in areas such as generalization, robustness, and long-horizon reasoning
 * Work across the model lifecycle, from initial research and prototyping to training and deployment
 * Collaborate closely with pretraining, video, generative, RL, and robot learning teams to integrate modeling advances into the full autonomy stack
 * Design experiments and evaluation frameworks to understand model behavior and guide iteration
 * Contribute to the development of new modeling paradigms for embodied AI systems
