TAL's take

Quality 60/1005/5 clarityTier 2 company

Solid research role within a known university research center, though limited information on long-term growth and compensation.

JD is very specific about the technical domain (learning-based manipulation) and the required stack.

Must haves

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in related field
  • Experience in imitation learning and reinforcement learning
  • Hands-on familiarity with robotic manipulators and motion planning
  • Proficiency in PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Experience with ROS / ROS 2
  • Proficiency in Python and C++
  • At least 2 years of experience in robotics research or industry projects
