## Description

As a Senior/Staff Machine Learning Engineer, you will be working on a myriad of challenges related to robot task and action planning. You will leverage techniques from machine learning to solve hard sequential decision problems that require reasoning about the physical world and its dynamics. You will also stay abreast of the latest progress in imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and other related fields in order to further develop Dexterity's technology foundations in Physical AI. Additionally, you will be responsible for updating and scaling our current ML pipelines to cover more scenarios and improve accuracy.
Dexterity's robotic solutions integrate data from a multitude of sensors, including RGB cameras, depth sensors, force-torque sensors, encoders, system telemetry and human input. To better inform the planning algorithms, you may work on sensor fusion and state estimation techniques to leverage this multimodal sensory data.
You will also work closely with the data platform, physics simulation, and robot operations teams to develop effective and efficient ways to improve the system's internal world model.
Dexterity has an expanding set of algorithmic challenges as we deploy new robotic applications, including areas such as:

 - Improving packing algorithms to build taller, denser, more stable structures with a wider variety of objects.
 - Solving the logistics task of moving and sorting inventory throughout a warehouse.
 - Building models that understand physics and geometry for both short- and long-horizon tasks.
In addition to curating datasets and developing/improving machine learning models, you will be responsible for building data flywheels. Ideally, you will bring data-driven productization experience and help the team broadly in qualifying, deploying and updating models., * Design and implement machine learning solutions across Dexterity's robotics stack, including but not limited to perception, decision-making, action scoring, and predictive modeling

 * Own the full ML development cycle for these solutions: data curation, labeling, training, evaluation, deployment, and iteration
 * Build performant training and inference pipelines using PyTorch, with production-readiness and scalability in mind
 * Collaborate closely with robotics, data platform, and simulation teams to integrate ML into real-time, latency-sensitive robotic systems
 * Use profiling, monitoring, and experiments to optimize model performance and reliability
 * Ensure reproducibility, traceability, and modularity across training and serving pipelines
 * Maintain clean, production-quality code in Python (and C++ where required)
 * Help establish best practices for model versioning, dataset management, and ML operations
