Member of Technical Staff, AI & Robotics
San Francisco, CA · Full-time
The Mission
Darwin is building general-purpose humanoid robots for real-world work.
Our first robot, Darwin One, will learn from real-world experience and continuously improve as AI moves from the screen into the physical world.
As a Member of Technical Staff, you will help build Darwin end-to-end, from the AI that controls the robot to the hardware and systems that bring it into the physical world.
What You’ll Work On
- Robot Learning: Adapt vision-language-action models for robot control and train action policies using imitation learning, diffusion, flow matching, and related methods.
- Robot Systems: Integrate sensors, actuators, compute, electronics, and software into a reliable physical robot.
- Mechanical Engineering & Mechatronics: Design and prototype mechanisms, structures, joints, actuators, and electromechanical systems.
- Perception & Control: Build perception, planning, and control systems for reliable interaction with the physical world.
- Real-World Data: Build systems for collecting and learning from large-scale robot experience.
- Simulation & Evaluation: Build environments and evaluations for measuring and improving robot capabilities.
Who You Are
We seek exceptional, high-agency engineers and researchers who can hit the ground running.
You have deep expertise in at least one area relevant to building intelligent robots, including robot learning, mechanical or electrical engineering, perception and controls, or robotics and ML systems.
You move quickly from ideas to working systems and are comfortable testing your work on real hardware.
If you believe you can make an exceptional contribution to the mission, we want to hear from you.
