Atlas ML Software Engineer - Large Scale Behavior Cloning

Job description

As seen at CES 2026, Atlas is the humanoid robot transforming what's possible in real-world manipulation and mobility. Our behavior development process is built on repeated iteration between data collection, policy training, hardware evaluation, and targeted diagnostics.

We are seeking a software engineer to build the tools and infrastructure that power this cycle end to end. Your scope will span data pipelines, training infrastructure, evaluation systems, and the tooling that connects them, with the goal of reducing friction and increasing the throughput and quality of each iteration.

Job responsibilities

  • Actively participate in ongoing R&D initiatives, collaborating closely with Research Scientists and Infrastructure Engineers.
  • Develop tools to query and gain insights into data, training, and testing performance metrics.
  • Analyze and track failures in experimental robot runs.
  • Work with robot simulation software to develop scenarios, tests, and data collection tools.
  • Build internal tools and platforms that accelerate the collect, train, and evaluate loop.
  • Develop software that gives researchers and engineers immediate visibility into policy performance, data quality, and collection gaps.
  • Work across hardware and simulation environments to support evaluation and rapid experimentation.
  • Maintain and improve the code repository, ensuring its ongoing maintenance and improvement to meet evolving needs (CI/CD, testing, deployment).

Job requirements

  • 3+ years of experience developing software for robotics, ML infrastructure, or related fields.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, familiarity with C++
  • Experience building internal tools, dashboards, or GUI applications.
  • Familiarity with ML workflows including training pipelines, experiment tracking, and dataset management.
  • Experience working on real-world robotics systems, whether in industry, research, or academic settings.
  • Experience with data analysis and visualization.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure, databases, Docker, and job orchestration.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
