🛠 Desired Expertise

We welcome candidates with experience in one or more of the following:

• Robot learning algorithm development & training pipelines
• Hardware design for robotic platforms and sensor integration
• 3D reconstruction, NeRFs, and geometric deep learning
• Large-scale deep learning (PyTorch, JAX, distributed training)
• Computer vision & multimodal learning (images, videos, language, actions)

🌟 What You’ll Do

• Design and train large VLAs for robotic decision-making
• Develop novel hardware–software systems for efficient, high-quality robotic data collection
• Implement and benchmark state-of-the-art 3D perception and reconstruction algorithms
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team spanning AI, robotics, and computer vision

📍 Location & Commitment

• Duration: at least 3 months
• Weekly commitment: at least 20 hours, ideally 40 hours
• Start Date: 09/2025
