Research Scientist

Cubiq Recruitment

I'm working with a pioneering robotics company developing intelligent in-home robots capable of performing complex manipulation tasks

The team is looking for a Research Scientist to help architect and deploy the machine learning models that power their next-generation robotic systems. This is a chance to take cutting-edge research, imitation learning, RL, and vision-language-action (VLA) models

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Training, deploying, and maintaining manipulation models on physical systems

• Building autonomy stacks using imitation learning, RL, and VLA approaches

• Developing robust teleoperation and data collection frameworks

• Extending state-of-the-art robotics research and adapting it for real-world use

• Iterating hands-on with real robots in the San Francisco lab

• Collaborating with a highly skilled, design-conscious engineering team

What We’re Looking For:

• PhD (or near completion) in Robotics, Machine Learning, or related field

• Strong publication record (NeurIPS, ICRA, RSS, CoRL, T-RO, etc.)

• Expertise in robot learning - imitation learning, RL, or classical control

• Experience deploying models on real-world robotic systems

• Ability to lead independent research and thrive in fast-paced environments

• Excellent communication skills and collaborative mindset
