Accelerating life science research with the ultimate goal of eradicating disease by building a Scientific Physical AI platform that leverages AI, robotics, and biology
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in designing and building algorithms for robotics systems
- Relevant research or work experience in robotics manipulation, specifically in one or more areas: motion planning and trajectory optimization, kinematics and dynamics, and control
- Highly proficient in Python
- Experience or familiarity with robot arm manipulators
- Experience with software engineering tools and best practices for shipping and maintaining production code
- Experience with robotic simulation systems such as PyBullet or MuJoCo
Responsibilities
- Develop software solutions to manipulate and control biological tools and equipment that are typically designed for human hands
- Design and implement robust motion planning algorithms and controls to ensure collision avoidance and high performance in complex, dynamic lab environments
- Utilize computer vision to enable robots to reliably interact with standard consumables and equipment used by human scientists
- Integrate, test, and debug software solutions both in simulation and on physical robotic hardware
- Work directly with partner scientists to understand their pain points, ideate creative solutions, decompose complex problems into deployable projects, and guide implementation
- Focus on developing software with high robustness and performance, while identifying opportunities for system simplification and designing for massive scalability
Other
- BS/MS/Ph.D. in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
- A "hacker’s mindset"—the ability to quickly get to a good-enough solution—along with a flexible attitude toward responsibilities and scope
- 100% On-site role in San Francisco, five days a week, fostering deep technical collaboration
- Visa sponsorship is available for exceptional candidates
- Relocation benefits are offered for applicants who need to move to the San Francisco area
