You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
Responsibilities
• Develop and scale 3D perception and data capture systems to help robots understand and navigate unpredictable, dynamic human environments safely. • Design and implement cutting-edge robot learning approaches, including Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and Reinforcement Learning for complex manipulation tasks. • Prototype, ship, and iterate on code that runs on physical hardware, bridging the gap between theoretical research and robust real-world robotic performance.
Benefits
• Company Description: Paddington Robotics Limited - VC-backed applied AI robotics lab • Work under Zehan Wang, co-founder of Magic Pony (acquired by Twitter for ~$150M), alongside a world-class team from Amazon AGI, InstaDeep, and top-tier universities. • Eschew traditional lab-only research for an "iterative deployment" approach, testing your models on real hardware in human-centric environments like supermarkets to capture unique edge cases. • Enjoy significant ownership and early-stage equity in the UK’s leading applied AI robotics team, backed by proven founders and preparing for an upcoming funding round.
