• 5+ years of professional experience if holding a Master’s degree.
• Proven ML model shipping and maintenance in robotics.
• Strong grounding in motion control, state estimation, planning, actuation.
• Experience with Gazebo or Isaac Sim and sim-to-real transfer.
• Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks; working knowledge of C++.
• Strong Linux skills and ability to integrate learned components into software.
• Excellent English communication.

Aufgaben

• Lead design, training, and deployment of RL policies for robot motion.
• Mentor engineers and establish best practices for policy workflows.
• Own RL training infrastructure and sim-to-real pipeline with reproducibility.
• Shape ML tooling and experiment management to improve efficiency.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to expand autonomous capabilities.
• Triage field locomotion issues and improve policy robustness from deployment data.
• Write, deploy, and maintain Python and C++ software for the stack.

Jobbeschreibung

ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design, training, and deployment of reinforcement learning policies for robot motion — bridging the gap from simulation to reliable real-world performance
• Provide senior technical guidance on RL and learning-based control across the team, mentoring engineers and establishing best practices for policy development workflows
• Own and evolve the RL training infrastructure and sim-to-real pipeline, ensuring reproducibility, scalability, and fast iteration cycles
• Shape the technical vision for internal ML tooling and experiment management (e.g. training dashboards, automated evaluation pipelines), driving efficiency and rigour across the team's learning workflows
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders to identify how to expand the robot's autonomous operational envelope
• Triage field issues related to locomotion, recognise failure patterns, and rapidly improve policy robustness based on real deployment data
• Write, deploy, and maintain efficient Python and C++ software for the learning and locomotion stack

Requirements

• PhD in robotics, machine learning, computer science or a related field with a strong focus on reinforcement learning; alternatively, an equivalent track record of RL research and deployment in robotics Or
• Master's degree from a top-tier technical university (e.g. ETH Zurich, EPFL) in robotics, machine learning, computer science or related field and 5+ years of professional experience
• Proven track record of shipping ML models to the field and maintaining those solutions over time
• Solid grounding in robot control fundamentals and autonomous systems, including: motion control, state estimation, path planning and actuation
• Experience using robotic simulation tools such as Gazebo or Isaac Sim
• Strong understanding of sim-to-real transfer, domain randomisation, reward shaping, and policy robustness techniques
• Proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks (PyTorch); working knowledge of C++
• Strong knowledge of Linux systems and middleware frameworks for integrating learned components into a larger software stack
• Pragmatic and solution-oriented mindset — comfortable balancing research exploration with production delivery
• Excellent communication skills in English
