Description

  • Design, train, and deploy reinforcement learning policies for legged robot locomotion using GPU-parallelized simulation.
  • Develop terrain curricula and domain randomization strategies to improve real-world robustness.
  • Own the sim-to-real transfer pipeline and identify ways to close reality gaps.
  • Train policies for stair climbing, rough terrain traversal, payload carry, push recovery, and fall recovery.
  • Define and evaluate performance metrics for locomotion robustness.
  • Collaborate with manipulation and perception engineers to integrate locomotion into a full autonomy stack.
  • Build systems that enable robust mobility across rubble, stairs, slopes, and degraded environments.

Requirements

  • 3-8+ years of experience with reinforcement learning for legged or mobile robots.
  • Strong background in dynamics, control, and robot locomotion.
  • Experience with RL algorithms such as PPO and SAC and training frameworks such as rsl_rl, Stable Baselines, or rl_games.
  • Hands-on experience with physics simulation tools such as Isaac Gym, MuJoCo, or PyBullet.
  • Demonstrated sim-to-real transfer on physical robotic systems.
  • Proficiency in Python and PyTorch.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
  • Experience with bipedal or multi-limbed robotic platforms is preferred.
  • Experience with NVIDIA Isaac Lab or Omniverse is preferred.
  • Publications in top robotics venues such as RSS, CoRL, ICRA, or IROS are preferred.
  • Prior work in defense technology or startups is preferred.

Benefits

  • Base salary range of $220,000 to $336,000 USD.
  • Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full-time offers.
  • Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.
