# Machine Learning Engineer

- **Company:** Path Robotics
- **Location:** United States
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Python (Programming Language), Pytorch, Transfer Learning, Information Technology
- **Published:** November 9, 2026
- **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/machine-learning-engineer-robot-learning-reinforcement-learning-path-robotics-7105149

## About the Role

* MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field.
 * Hands-on experience applying RL to manipulation or contact-rich control.
 * Experience with sim-to-real transfer and GPU-parallel simulation (e.g., Isaac Lab, MuJoCo).
 * Experience deploying learned policies on physical robots.
 * Strong Python and PyTorch or JAX skills, including training at scale.

## Description

* Train RL policies for high-precision manipulation in large-scale, GPU-parallel simulation.
 * Transfer policies from simulation to real industrial robots, using vision and force/torque sensing.
 * Scale from task-specific policies to generalist models that handle new parts without retraining.
 * Combine foundation models (VLAs, world models) with RL to solve long-horizon assembly tasks.
 * Deploy and evaluate policies on real robotic cells with customers, and use the results to improve the models., * Daily free lunch to keep you fueled and connected with the team
