AI Engineer - Automation/Robotics 3

About the role

Are you an experienced AI Engineer - Automation/Robotics 3 with a desire to excel? If so, then Talent Software Services may have the job for you! Our client is seeking an experienced AI Engineer - Automation/Robotics 3 to work at their company in Redmond, WA.

Description

Join our team, dedicated to advancing the state of the art in robotic learning and foundation models. As an AI Engineer in Automation and Robotics, you will be at the forefront of creating, deploying, and maintaining AI and machine learning models, specifically supporting Embodied AI and Robotics research.

Typical Day in the Role

Start your day by integrating a new simulation or robotic arm with our robotic learning framework, adapting our server/client code to the new API. Collect and convert demonstrations in that environment into the correct format for training a model. Conclude your day by launching fine-tuning runs of our internal VLAs and baseline external VLAs, ready for evaluation the next day.

Job Responsibilities

Fine-tune and improve a variety of sophisticated software implementation projects.

Architect, design, and implement test automation infrastructure.

Develop training and evaluation pipelines using Azure Machine Learning.
