Job summary

Machenta Ltd in London is seeking a Member of Technical Staff to push transformer-based models for instant robot learning, building rich 3D representations from multimodal inputs, and running careful experiments to understand scaling and performance.

You’ll turn research insights into efficient models that run on real robot hardware, collaborating closely with the team to ship improvements and measure impact on robot capability.

Qualifications

• Deep expertise in modern ML, with a strong track record of designing and training transformer-based models.
• Hands-on experience with 3D representations and 3D deep learning, such as point cloud networks or multi-view models.
• Strong understanding of 3D geometry and computer vision fundamentals, including camera models, multi-view geometry and depth estimation.
• Strong Python and PyTorch skills, and experience writing clean, reliable code.
• Experience running large-scale training, including distributed training and efficient data pipelines.
• A rigorous, experiment-driven mindset: careful baselines, ablations and clear conclusions.
• Clear communication of your ideas and findings to the team.

Responsibilities

• Push the frontier of model design for instant robot learning, with a focus on transformer-based architectures and 3D representations.
• Design and run experiments on efficient multimodal sensor fusion, combining inputs such as RGB, depth and proprioception.
• Run ablations and investigate scaling behaviour across model architectures, data and compute.
• Explore new objectives, auxiliary losses and sources of supervision that make learning more data-efficient.
• Turn research insights into models that run efficiently on robot hardware and measurably improve real-world performance.
