Job description

Description

Target start date: 3-6 months. Relocation provided.

We are at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for household use. Our mission is to create an abundant supply of labor via safe, intelligent humanoids. As we transition from R&D to full-scale manufacturing, we are currently seek an AI resident. The AI residency role involves developing full-stack infrastructure for simulation, data management, and learning. This work is like building a self-driving car - and all the technical challenges that it entails - except that the robot must also deliberately come into contact with the world (when manipulating objects and doors).

Why this job is exciting

  • Your role on the team will be to scale up robot learning algorithms on state-of-the-art hardware

  • You will get to deploy code to androids at customer sites

  • We aim to (1) double the number of tasks the androids can perform and (2) half the error rate on existing tasks, quarter over quarter

  • The team works closely together to scale up a single approach to a production-ready system, rather than publishing research papers

Responsibilities

  • Day to day: scale up datasets used for training end-to-end navigation and manipulation
  • Build the “data engine” (frontend UI and backend) to review logs, clean, and label data
  • Extend simulation infra to generate useful data for the real world and close the sim-to-real gap
  • Work with our data operations team to test out research ideas in sim and real world
  • Ship new capabilities to androids deployed in customer sites

Requirements

Must-Haves

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent. We’re mostly looking for graduate-level students, but are willing to consider exceptional undergraduates who have a lot of related research experience

  • 2+ years of relevant work experience or equivalent

  • Proficiency working with large codebases in Python, including testing

  • Ability to rapidly prototype ideas in code in an independent manner

  • Familiarity with linear algebra and supervised machine learning

  • Experience with Deep Learning Frameworks (Pytorch, TF, JAX, etc.)

Nice-to-Haves

  • Fast thinker and learner
  • Highly independent code contributor
  • Capable of performing world-class machine learning research but willing to work on infra and operational scaling of the fleet when needed
  • Good judgement in scoping research problems and infrastructure
  • Perseverance

Added Bonuses:

  • Robotics and ROS experience
  • Has built large programming projects on their own for fun (e.g. open source projects)
  • Systems programming
  • Training large-scale ML models such as visual foundation models, large language models, pixel-level generative models
  • Published robotics research in top ML conferences (CVPR, ICML, ICLR, etc.)

Compensation

The target compensation range for this role is US$ 8,000 to 12,000 per month.

Typical interview process

  • Introductions - interviews to learn more about you and talk about 1X and the role

    • Interview with a member of the Talent Acquisition team

    • Hiring manager / senior team member / technical interview

  • Team interviews - technical interviews and deep-dives with team members. May include a take home challenge, presentation or problem-solving exercise

    • Technical deep-dive conversation with a team member

    • Onsite interviews with team members

  • Final stages - you move to the final round

    • Expectation management with the hiring manager

    • We will conduct reference checks

    • Job offer conversation

Depending on the role and your background, additional interviews may be added.

You are also welcome to request additional conversations with anyone you would like to meet, but didn’t get to meet during the interview process.
