AI Research Engineer, Reinforcement Learning

Job description

AI Research Engineer, Reinforcement Learning | AI & Robotics Location: Palo Alto, CA (on-site) About 1X: We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance. The Role: As a Research Engineer focused on Reinforcement Learning, you will be responsible for teaching NEO new capabilities through RL algorithms. You’ll work across both simulation and real-world environments to build robust behaviors and deploy them into homes. This role will be instrumental in making our robots safer, more capable, and increasingly versatile. Requirements: You Will: Own the full stack of engineering tasks, from data engineering and model architecture to product deployment Train NEO on a variety of manipulation and locomotion tasks Collaborate with hardware teams to bridge the sim-to-real gap for policies trained in simulation Partner with controls, QA, and data collection teams to ship RL policies to production Deploy reinforcement learning-trained skills into real-world home environments Must Have: Strong programming experience in Python and/or C++ with familiarity using build tools such as Bazel Proficiency with PyTorch: Hands-on experience with simulation p...
