Robotics Engineer
Position Summary & Responsibilities
Persons in these roles are expected to work from our offices in Seattle. On-site requirements vary based on position and team. If you have questions about on-site work arrangements for this role, please ask your recruiter.
Our base salary range is $128,880 - $193,320, and in addition we have generous bonus plans to provide a competitive compensation package.
Who You Are:
You are a hands-on robotics engineer who thrives at the intersection of theory and system-building, equally comfortable developing low-level controllers as you are deploying learned policies on real hardware. You have experience working across the full robotics stack, from reasoning and perception to control and physical execution, and you take a systems-oriented view of complex robotic platforms. Whether working with real robots or high-fidelity simulators, you bring strong debugging instincts, fluency in Python, and a practical understanding of modern robotics and simulation ecosystems. You care about making systems actually work, not just in isolation, but end-to-end under real-world constraints.
In this role, you will collaborate closely with researchers on high-impact robot learning projects, translating cutting-edge algorithms into robust, deployable behavior. You will help build and iterate on sim-to-real pipelines, develop control and experimentation infrastructure, and enable large-scale learning through GPU-accelerated simulation. This is an environment where engineering rigor meets research ambition: you’ll have the opportunity to shape core system capabilities, influence experimental design, and contribute to projects that push the boundaries of what robots can learn and do in the real world.
Who We Are:
Ai2’s Robotics team is led by Dieter Fox. We aim to develop and leverage scalable simulation domains to scientifically investigate the scaling and generalization capabilities of foundation models for robotics, and use these insights to develop broadly competent robots. Following a longstanding tradition at Ai2, we are committed to fully open-source research and work toward application domains with a positive impact on society.
We are looking for applicants interested in robotics, with a focus on core techniques in robot manipulation, large scale training in simulated environments, sim-to-real transfer, robot foundation models, a
Key Role Competencies & Evaluation Highlights
Deep scientific rigor coupled with collaborative, multidisciplinary open-science alignment and large-scale data stewardship.
