Embodied AI Engineer

LG Electronics • Santa Clara, CA

5h • $150,000 - $210,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

We are seeking an exceptional Embodied AI Engineer to build the foundation of LG's vision of the Zero-labor Home. This hybrid role offers a unique opportunity to design, build, and scale the technology and tooling that turn generalist robot intelligence into deployable capability on next-generation LG home robot platforms. You will work at the frontier of embodied AI engineering, building the infrastructure, pipelines, and training systems that let research ideas run at scale and ship into real products used by millions.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree and 5+ years of relevant industry and/or research experience, or Master's degree and 3+ years of relevant industry and/or research experience, in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Strong software engineering proficiency in Python or C++, experience working across the full stack from data pipeline to deployed model.
• Hands-on experience with one or more of the following: Training and deploying Robot Foundation Models (e.g., VLA, diffusion/flow-matching policies for manipulation or locomotion), Building data pipelines for robot learning (simulation, teleoperation, generative data augmentation), Developing and maintaining robot system infrastructure for robot manipulators or mobile robots, RGB/Depth cameras, FT/tactile sensors
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work closely with research scientists and translate ideas into shipped systems.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with the robot learning research literature (world models, spatial intelligence, learning from demonstration) sufficient to collaborate closely on architecture decisions.
• Contributions to open-source robotics or ML infrastructure tooling.
• PhD preferred but not required.

Responsibilities

• Implement, debug, and optimize model architectures (VLA, diffusion/flow-matching policies, world models) taking them from prototype to reliable and reproducible systems.
• Build and maintain scalable training and evaluation infrastructure for Robot Foundation Models and on-robot deployment stacks.
• Architect and operate large-scale data pipelines that combine high-fidelity simulation, generative AI, teleoperation, and real-world data collection to fuel model training.
• Work hands-on with robot hardware to bring up new platforms, debug real-world failures, and close the loop between simulation and deployment.
• Collaborate with global research teams and hardware partners to integrate embodied AI systems into LG's consumer ecosystem, and contribute engineering input to technical roadmaps.

Benefits

• No-cost employee premiums for you and your eligible dependents for competitive medical, dental, vision and prescription benefits.
• Auto enrollment with immediate vesting of competitive company matching contributions in a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan with several investment options.
• Generous Paid Time Off program that includes company holidays and a combined bank of paid sick and vacation time.
• Performance based Short-Term Incentives (varies by role).
• Access to confidential mental health resources to help you and your loved ones improve your quality of life.
• Personal fitness goal incentives.
• Family orientated benefits such as paid parental leave and support for families raising children with learning, social, behavioral challenges, or developmental disabilities.
• Group Rate Life and Disability Insurance.
