Senior AI Research Engineer

<div class="content-intro"><p>Agility’s commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.</p></div><h1><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>About The Role</strong></span></h1> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The AI innovation team at Agility works on building and deploying next-generation robot foundation models and end-to-end policies on humanoid robots. Your goal will be to develop and test cutting-edge methods for imitation learning and reinforcement learning on humanoid robots, in order to establish the techniques necessary for humanoid robots to perform different real-world tasks. You will work on a team, running experiments on humanoid robots, and will research and implement methods which can be transferred into production.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>About the Work</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Design, train, and deploy robust policies for locomotion, manipulation, and dynamic interactions with the environment.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Develop core reinforcement learning infrastructure, including scalable training pipelines and evaluation frameworks.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Design and implement new simulation environments and tasks to support training and deployment of control policies.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Develop, design, and test imitation learning methods</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Collaborate with Robotics Software and AI engineering teams to develop policies which can be transferred to production</span></li> </ul> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>About You</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">3+ years of experience developing and deploying learning-from-demonstration</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Strong programming skills in Python, with proficiency in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Experience with modern learning-from-demonstration tools like DiffusionPolicy</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Experience with robot data collection, training, and testing on hardware to perform manipulation tasks.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment to deliver safe, high-quality software</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">MS in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field.</span></li> </ul> <h2><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Bonus Points</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Publications in top ML or robotics conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICML, CoRL, RSS, ICRA).</span></li> <li style="font-
