Robotics ML Engineer (m/f/d) Dexterous Manipulation
Robotics ML Engineer (m/f/d) Dexterous Manipulation
Join Agile Robots SE as a Robotics ML Engineer focused on learning-based, contact-rich manipulation. You will work at the intersection of learned policies and physical reality, using tactile sensing, force interaction, and precise control to ground robot intelligence.
Responsibilities
- Policy Grounding: Develop, refine, and stabilize learning-based manipulation policies under real-world contact, force, and compliance constraints.
- Multimodal Learning: Build learning pipelines combining high-resolution vision, tactile, and force-torque signals.
- Learning-Based Control: Develop and refine ML-driven approaches for precise, contact-rich manipulation.
- Sim-to-Real Deployment: Train, validate, and deploy manipulation policies across simulation and real robot hardware, addressing sim-to-real gaps.
- Debugging & Stability: Analyze tactile feedback, compliance behavior, and policy stability to improve performance.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with robotics, perception, and ML colleagues to prototype, iterate, and scale manipulation solutions.
Essential Skills
- Robotics & Deep Learning: Strong background in robotics with hands‑on experience applying machine learning to manipulation and control problems.
- IL / RL Experience: Solid understanding of imitation learning and reinforcement learning for robotic systems.
- Embodiment & Control: Experience working with contact dynamics, compliance, force interaction, or tactile feedback in real systems.
- Simulation & Deployment: Practical experience with robotic simulation and sim-to-real workflows, including deployment on physical robots.
- Programming: Strong Python and C++ skills, with experience using modern ML frameworks and ROS2-based systems.
- System Debugging: Ability to reason about system-level failures across perception, policy, control, and hardware.
Beneficial Skills
- Tactile/Haptic Systems: Experience with tactile sensing or force-feedback setups.
- Policy Post-Training: Exposure to policy refinement, fine-tuning, or robustness improvements under real-world constraints.
- Infrastructure & Deployment: Familiarity with containerization, model serving, or CI/CD pipelines for ML systems.
- Research Exposure: Publications or applied research experience in robotics, machine learning, or related fields.
