Robotics Engineer - Humanoids focus

Job description

This role is open to candidates currently based in and authorized to work in the US.

General Robotics is building the intelligence grid for physical AI — the platform that makes any robot, from robotic arms to humanoids, genuinely intelligent. Headquartered in Redmond, Washington, we're venture backed, including by Accenture, who invested in General Robotics in 2026 to advance Physical AI-powered robotics in manufacturing and logistics, and we're also part of Microsoft's Startups Pegasus Program.

Job responsibilities

  • Train and deploy RL/IL policies for loco-manipulation tasks that perform reliably in the real world, measured by field task success rate.
  • Design high fidelity simulation environments that advance sim-to-real transfer and reduce the gap between simulation training performance and real-world deployment, enabling faster iteration cycles.
  • Define research goals informed by practical engineering concerns.
  • Contribute to experiments, including designing experimental details, writing reusable code, running model evaluations, and organizing results.
  • Contribute to publications and open-sourcing efforts.
  • Partner with the robot deployment team to ship RL trained policies to production customer sites, owning the entire pipeline from research to deployment

Job requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Research experience in machine learning, robotics, and computer vision.
  • Experience with developing robotics algorithms or machine learning models at scale.
  • Programming experience in Python/C++. Good understanding of deep learning frameworks like Pytorch or Jax.
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
  • Master's/PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Direct experience in robotics, computer vision, or machine learning research.
  • First author publications at peer-reviewed AI and robotics conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, CVPR, ICML, ICLR, ICRA, IROS, CORL).
