Research Engineer, Robotic Learning

Target start date: immediately.  Relocation provided.

Since its founding in 2015, 1X has been at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for household use. Our mission is to create an abundant supply of labor via safe, intelligent humanoids. 

We strive for excellence in all we do, solving some of the hardest problems in robotics with the world’s most talented individuals. Every part of our robots is designed and produced in-house—from motor coils to AI—reflecting our vertically integrated approach. At 1X, you’ll own real projects, be recognized for your achievements, and rewarded based on merit.

We believe the best work is done when collaborating and therefore require in-person presence in our office locations. 

Responsibilities

• Train machine learning models for robotic navigation, manipulation, and locomotion.

• Implement infrastructure to scale up the data engine’s ability to train on more data and more compute.

• Develop algorithmic advances to improve our models' sample efficiency and generalization capability.

• Work with the data collection team to improve their efficiency and evaluation processes.

• Interview hiring candidates for the AI team.

• Working with the software team to improve calibration and timing correctness of the robotics stack.

• Speeding up the data loader to increase training speeds.

• Implement data inspection tools to interpret AI models better.
