Job summary

micro1 in the United States is seeking a Robotics Researcher to drive frontier research in embodied AI, robot learning, and physical AI systems.

This hands-on role designs and runs end-to-end robotics experiments using real-world data, simulation, and human-in-the-loop systems to evaluate and improve robot performance. You will translate findings into scalable solutions and collaborate with AI and robotics teams.

Qualifications

• Strong background in robotics, embodied AI, robot learning, CV, or ML research.
• Hands-on experience developing/training/evaluating robot learning models (VLA, imitation, generalist policies).
• Proficiency in Python; experience with PyTorch, ROS, or simulation environments.
• Experience designing robotics experiments with real-world data collection, simulation, policy evaluation, or hardware deployment.
• Understanding of robot learning, multimodal perception, and sim-to-real transfer.
• Ability to analyze model behavior, identify failure modes, and translate research findings into measurable improvements.
• Strong research ownership and ability to execute complex technical projects.
• Strong technical communication and collaboration across research and engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead frontier robotics research across VLA models, generalist policies, world models, and embodied AI approaches.
• Design end-to-end experimentation systems spanning teleoperation, data collection, simulation, policy deployment, and real-world evaluation.
• Develop high-fidelity simulations using real-world data to evaluate robot policies and validate performance in physical environments.
• Leverage Flow to structure and scale robotics datasets from egocentric video, demonstrations, and multimodal sensor data.
• Investigate model limitations, failure modes, and sim-to-real gaps to develop benchmarks and evaluation methodologies.
• Rapidly prototype and validate novel approaches to robot learning, policy optimization, and embodied intelligence.
• Independently identify high-impact research opportunities and lead projects from initial exploration through experimentation and scalable implementation.
