Résumé du poste

Thespian Labs in Somerville, MA is seeking a Robotics Research Scientist to deploy our foundation model onto real robots. You will translate forward passes into perception, motion, and action on hardware in real time, ensuring safe, robust behavior.

You will connect perception, state estimation, and whole-body control with real hardware, running experiments on legible hardware, closing the sim-to-real gap, and iterating quickly with a small, hands-on team.

Qualifications

• PhD in robotics, machine learning, controls, or related field.

Responsabilités

• Bring the foundation model onto real robots to turn forward passes into perception, motion, and action on hardware in real time.
• Develop the control and whole-body motion that balance, reach, and gesture with learned behavior.
• Build perception and state estimation from real sensors to understand the room and the robot itself.
• Close the sim-to-real gap with simulation, domain randomization, and real hardware calibration.
