Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will define and lead the research agenda for Robotics Foundation Models, focusing on large-scale multimodal learning and embodied AI. Additionally, you will collaborate with engineering teams to translate research into scalable systems and mentor researchers to establish a world-class scientific culture.
A PhD in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, or a related field is required, along with deep expertise in foundation models and embodied AI. Candidates must have a strong publication record and hands-on experience in designing and training large-scale multimodal models.
Maxinsights is building the foundation layer for Physical AI, the intelligence that enables robots to perceive, reason, learn, and act in the real world.
Our mission is to unlock scalable learning for robotics through data and foundation models trained on real-world interaction. We believe the next generation of robotics will be powered by such models, and we're building the data and intelligence layer to make that possible.
We are looking for a world-class Senior Research Scientist to define and lead our research agenda in Robotics Foundation Models. This is a highly research-oriented role with significant scientific autonomy and long-term impact. You will shape the direction of embodied AI at Maxinsights, lead research into large-scale multimodal models, and work at the intersection of data, model architecture, and real-world robot interaction.
You will have the opportunity to pursue ambitious research questions, build new approaches to learning from embodied data, and turn fundamental advances into systems that can operate across a wide range of robotic platforms and tasks.
We are particularly interested in researchers with experience with the following:
Robotics Foundation Models trained on large-scale embodied data
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and architectures
Egocentric learning and first-person interaction modeling
Representation learning for embodied intelligence
Scaling laws for embodied data, models, and policy learning
Large-scale robotics training and multimodal learning
We are intentionally broad in scope and are excited by researchers who bring strong ideas that challenge conventional approaches to robotics learning.
Define and drive the long-term research agenda for Robotics Foundation Models at Maxinsights.
Lead research and large-scale training of multimodal models spanning vision, language, and action.
Shape the design, composition, and scaling strategy of our embodied datasets.
Develop novel approaches to learning representations and policies from large-scale real-world interaction data.
Investigate how foundation models can generalize across robots, environments, tasks, and embodiments.
Translate research ideas into scalable systems in close collaboration with engineering and robotics teams.
Publish high-impact research at leading venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, RSS, CoRL, and ICRA.
Mentor researchers and help establish the scientific culture and research direction of a world-class robotics organization.
PhD in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Computer Science, or a related field.
Deep research expertise in robotics foundation models, embodied AI, multimodal learning, or a closely related area.
Hands-on experience designing and training large-scale multimodal or foundation models.
Strong understanding of modern deep learning architectures, representation learning, and model scaling.
Strong publication record in leading machine learning, computer vision, or robotics conferences.
Demonstrated ability to independently identify important research problems and drive them from idea to execution.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across research and engineering teams.
Experience at a leading AI or robotics research organization such as OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta FAIR, Physical Intelligence, or similar.
Hands-on experience with VLA models, robotics pretraining, world models, or large-scale policy learning.
Experience scaling distributed training using technologies such as FSDP, DeepSpeed, Megatron, TPU, or equivalent systems.
Experience working with large-scale real-world robotics or egocentric datasets.
A strong point of view on representation learning, generalization, scaling, and the path toward general-purpose robotic intelligence.
Track record of turning fundamental research into systems that work in real-world environments.
This is an opportunity to work on one of the most important open problems with AI: How do we build models that can learn general-purpose intelligence through interaction with the physical world?
You will have the autonomy to pursue ambitious research, access to significant computational and data resources, and the opportunity to shape both the scientific direction and research culture of the organization.
If you are excited about defining the next generation of Robotics Foundation Models, and want to have a meaningful influence on how embodied intelligence evolves over the next decade, we encourage you to apply!
