Qualifications

Core ResponsibilitiesDesign and implement mission-level autonomy systems for humanoid robots, emphasizing learning-based decision-making and behavior execution. Develop policy execution, monitoring, and coordination layers that integrate learning-based components with classical robot subsystems. Create autonomy frameworks that facilitate adaptive behavior, generalization across tasks, and resilience to uncertainty and environmental changes. Establish recovery, fallback, and safety protocols around learning-based autonomy to guarantee dependable real-world operation. Define and uphold clear interfaces between autonomy, perception, navigation, manipulation, and control systems. Collaborate with Reinforcement Learning teams to integrate trained policies into real-time robot software stacks. Build infrastructure for telemetry, logging, evaluation, and replay to analyze and troubleshoot autonomy behavior. Validate autonomy systems through simulations and physical humanoid robots, ensuring a seamless transition from research to deployment.

About the role

Apptronik is a pioneering robotics company dedicated to creating AI-driven robots that enhance the quality of human life across various domains. Our premier humanoid robot, Apollo, is engineered to work collaboratively and intelligently with individuals, initially targeting essential sectors such as manufacturing and logistics, with future expansions into healthcare, home assistance, and more.

We are at the forefront of embodied AI, leveraging our extensive knowledge across the entire robotics spectrum to address some of the most pressing challenges faced by society.
