Staff Reinforcement Learning Engineer - Whole Body Control

Descrizione del lavoro:

Figure is an AI Robotics company autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots. The goal of the company is to ship humanoid robots with human level intelligence. Its robots are engineered to perform a variety of tasks in the home and commercial markets. We are based in North San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It's time to build.
We are looking for a Staff Reinforcement Learning Engineer to develop, train, deploy, and evaluate advanced reinforcement learning algorithms for whole body control of our humanoid robot.
Key Responsibilities:
* Develop, train, and deploy reinforcement learning algorithms for whole body control
* Determine the observations, actions, and model types that unlock maximum performance
* Identify and close the most important sim-to-real gaps
* Define, test, and evaluate performance metrics for learned policies
* Harden the control stack to ensure rock solid robustness
Requirements:
* Strong background in dynamics and control, ideally of legged robots
* Experience with reinforcement learning algorithms for robotics: PPO, SAC, etc
* Experience tuning hyperparameters and cost functions for these RL algorithms
* Familiarity with common RL techniques such as: domain randomization, curriculum learning, reward shaping, etc.
* Capable of leading complex controls projects and mentoring junior engineers
Bonus Qualifications:
* Experience with behavior cloning techniques (e.g. distillation)
The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $150,000 and $250,000 annually.
The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
