Staff Research Roboticist

At Boston Dynamics, we are pushing the boundaries of what advanced robots can do in the real world. The Spot team is building next-generation last-mile delivery capabilities, and we are seeking a curious, driven team member to develop cutting-edge machine learning (ML) and reinforcement learning (RL) solutions that run directly on our robots.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, train, and deploy state-of-the-art ML/RL algorithms for complex last-mile delivery challenges; Develop and integrate software in Python and/or C++; Evaluate new algorithms in our simulation environments and directly on our fleet of real Spot robots in unstructured, outdoor environments

Requirements

MS or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field; Experience deploying state-of-the-art ML or RL techniques (for either perception or control) directly onto physical robotic hardware; Proficiency with a modern ML framework (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX); Strong software engineering fundamentals in Python or C++; Eligible to work in the United States

Benefits

medical; dental; vision; 401(k); paid time off; annual bonus structure
