Zusammenfassung

Flexion Robotics in Zürich seeks a Research Engineer for Dexterous Manipulation to advance VLA models for humanoid robots. You will own model architecture, integrate egocentric priors with real-time policies, and ensure reliable, flexible manipulation in unstructured environments.

The role demands deep knowledge of hand-object dynamics, 20+ DoF kinematics, and hands-on deployment on real hardware. Zurich office offers premier robotics facilities and a collaborative culture.

Qualifikationen

• PhD or Master’s in Robotics, ML, or closely related field.
• Experience with Humanoid or Dexterous Manipulation and contact-rich physics.
• Proficient in Python, PyTorch, and distributed training (FSDP, NCCL).
• Expert in Diffusion Models, Flow Matching, and Transformers.
• Hands-on deployment of learning-based controllers on real robot hardware.
• Experience with RL and simulation environments (IsaacLab, MuJoCo).

Aufgaben

• Architect and implement large-scale pre-training objectives for egocentric video datasets.
• Develop and scale Vision-Language-Action foundation models for robotic trajectories.
• Design and optimize generative action heads using diffusion and flow-matching.
• Align human-centric video representations with 20+ DoF humanoid motion constraints.
• Utilize Offline RL and high-fidelity simulation fine-tuning for better performance.
• Translate cutting-edge research into production-ready architectures for reliability.
