About the company
Humanoid is building the world's most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. Their platform HMND-01 Alpha is running in real industrial pilots.
Responsibilities
- Develop next-generation learned navigation systems that integrate complex spatial reasoning and semantic goals.
- Work on open-ended navigation powered by Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models.
- Design and scale data pipelines and evaluation frameworks for training large-scale, end-to-end learned behaviors and multimodal navigation models.
- Architect and deploy highly reliable ML systems, hardening models for predictable execution on physical hardware.
- Collaborate with cross-functional research and engineering teams to productionize large vision-language-action models.
- Evaluate new model architectures, multi-agent strategies, and datasets.
Requirements
- Extensive experience in machine learning for embodied AI, focused on end-to-end learned behaviors using large models (VLAs, VLMs, transformers, or diffusion).
- Deep production expertise: deploying, monitoring, and optimizing large-scale ML systems.
- Strong background in spatial reasoning and semantic goals, with experience handling multi-agent dynamics, crowding, or interactive environments.
- Proficiency in PyTorch and modern tooling for training, fine-tuning, and deploying large-scale foundation models for robotics.
- Exceptional experimental and engineering skills.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, research-driven environment.
Conditions
- Competitive equity: stock options.
- 30+ paid days off, including 23 days of annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days.
- Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care.
- Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer).
- Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office.
