Machine Learning Engineer, Robot Learning
At Path Robotics, we’re building the future of embodied intelligence. Our AI-driven systems enable robots to adapt, learn, and perform in the real world, closing the skilled labor gap and transforming industries. We combine perception, reasoning, and control to deliver field‑ready AI that is risk‑aware, reliable, and continuously improving through real‑world use.
The role will focus on developing agentic AI systems for industrial applications, designing, testing, and deploying advanced manipulation techniques, motion control systems, and planning algorithms for autonomous robots.
What You’ll Do
Develop and deploy behavioral cloning, reinforcement learning, and diffusion models to solve complex robotic tasks.
Leverage multimodal data (image, force, torque) to enhance manipulation and control.
Design vision‑language‑action (VLA) models for intelligent and responsive robotic systems.
Craft lifecycle strategies, including data collection, fleet learning, and continuous learning.
Optimize and deploy learning‑based methods for robot control and object manipulation on industrial robotic cells.
Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate manipulation, control, and planning algorithms into robotic platforms.
Stay updated with the latest advancements in robotics, control theory, and planning.
Who You Are
Ph.D. or Master’s in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
Experience publishing at top conferences (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CoRL, RLC).
Experience with robotic simulation tools (Isaac Sim, MuJoCo).
Experience applying machine‑learning techniques to robot manipulation and developing real‑world models.
Strong programming skills in C++ or Python.
Experience in pose estimation, segmentation, active perception, and affordance-based bin picking.
Proven track record deploying scalable autonomous robotic solutions.
Strong communication skills to convey complex concepts.
Why You’ll Love It Here
Daily free lunch.
Flexible PTO.
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
6 weeks fully paid parental leave; additional 6–8 weeks for birthing parents.
401(k) retirement plan through Empower.
Generous employee referral bonuses.
Who We Are We encourage unique thinking and are dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive environment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
