Research + Modeling

Mind RoboticsPalo Alto, CA

About The Position

We’re hiring Research Scientists and Engineers to help build the foundations of general-purpose robotics. You might come from robotics, machine learning, or large-scale generative models—but what matters most is the drive to turn research ideas into systems that work in the real world. If you’ve trained foundation models, thought deeply about VLMs and VLAs, and want to bring those ideas onto real hardware, you’ll fit right in. This role is end-to-end: developing new approaches, scaling training systems, and working hands-on with robots to understand what actually matters. We’re looking for people who take ownership, move easily between research and engineering, and want to see their work show up as real robot behavior.

Requirements

  • Experience in robotics, machine learning, or large-scale generative models
  • Experience training foundation models
  • Deep understanding of VLMs and VLAs
  • Ability to bring research ideas onto real hardware
  • Ownership mentality
  • Ability to move easily between research and engineering
  • Desire to see work show up as real robot behavior

Responsibilities

  • Developing new approaches in robotics
  • Scaling training systems
  • Working hands-on with robots to understand what actually matters
  • Turning research ideas into systems that work in the real world
