Description

  • Build a learned world model of the welding process that predicts future system behavior under robot actions.
  • Develop multimodal neural simulators using inputs such as 3D scans, video, thermal data, and electrical measurements.
  • Design, train, and evaluate large-scale generative or dynamics models for long-horizon rollouts.
  • Collaborate with reinforcement learning engineers to integrate the simulator into RL training and evaluation pipelines.
  • Run hypothesis-driven experiments and ablation studies alongside production development.
  • Partner with data and MLOps teams to support scalable training, evaluation, and deployment.
  • Translate research prototypes into robust, maintainable production code.
  • Validate simulator performance against real-world robotic welding data and support sim-to-real transfer.
  • Own pieces of the stack when needed and contribute across research and production work streams.

Requirements

  • Experience building and deploying ML systems for robotics or other complex physical processes in real-world settings.
  • Hands-on experience with world models, learned simulators, video generation, 3D modeling, or dynamics prediction.
  • Comfort training large models from scratch and working with the tooling and infrastructure needed to scale experiments.
  • Strong software engineering background with solid Python skills.
  • Experience with frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX.
  • Comfort working with messy, real-world data and imperfect ground truth.
  • Ability to model complex physical systems from data and reason about failure modes.
  • Willingness to context-switch between research and practical production work as needed.
  • Prior welding experience is not required (nice to have not expected).

Benefits

  • Daily free lunch.
  • Flexible PTO.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • 6 weeks of fully paid parental leave, plus an additional 6–8 weeks for birthing parents (12–14 weeks total).
  • 401(k) retirement plan through Empower.
  • Generous employee referral bonuses.
  • Remote work option or on-site work at the Columbus, Ohio headquarters.
