Senior Machine Learning Engineer – VLA

Job description

About Bonsai Robotics Bonsai Robotics develops affordable, vision-based autonomy that makes off-road equipment smarter, safer, and more productive. We are redefining outdoor autonomy with Bonsai Intelligence, a connected platform that's inspired by biology to see, think, and act with precision like a human. We bring together advanced perception, embodied AI, integrations with equipment manufacturers, and our compact, modular Amiga vehicles to deliver reliable automation to the world's most demanding field operations—reducing costs and increasing operational efficiencies. About the role: We're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer who can own the full lifecycle of training and deploying end-to-end Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for outdoor autonomy. You'll build the models that allow any vehicle—from our Amiga platform to heavy off-road equipment—to navigate, act, and adapt in unstructured outdoor environments using raw sensor inputs (cameras, IMU, GPS, LiDAR, and more). We have collected a large dataset of heavy equipment working in the field from deployments and are looking for people who can leverage massive real-world data as well as data from targeted data collection to...
