Responsibilities
The role involves bridging the gap between simulation and real-world robotics by evaluating foundation models and training world models. Responsibilities include building real-world robot learning pipelines and deploying policies onto physical robotic hardware.
Requirements
Candidates need a strong background in robotics or embodied AI with experience in simulation platforms like Isaac Sim or MuJoCo. Proficiency in Python and a proven track record of deploying software onto physical robotic hardware are required.
Full job description
Introducing Moonlake, AI for creating world simulations.
About Moonlake
Moonlake is building the frontier of AI-powered world simulation.
We create systems that generate, simulate, and reason over rich 3D environments for robotics, embodied AI, and interactive applications. Our platform enables the creation of digital worlds, synthetic environments, and scalable simulation infrastructure used to train the next generation of intelligent systems.
Our work sits at the intersection of:
Robotics
Physical AI
World Models
Simulation Infrastructure
Synthetic Data Generation
Embodied Intelligence
Moonlake has raised $28M in seed funding from NVIDIA Ventures, Threshold Ventures, AIX Ventures, and notable angels including Naval Ravikant and Jeff Dean.
Our mission is to build the foundational infrastructure that enables robots to learn, reason, and operate effectively in the physical world.
The Role
We are looking for a Member of Technical Staff – Robotics to help build the bridge between simulation, world models, and real-world robotic systems.
This role spans the full robotics stack—from evaluating foundation models and policies in simulation, to training world models, to deploying and operating physical robots. You will work closely with researchers and engineers developing next-generation simulation environments and AI systems, while ensuring those capabilities transfer successfully into real-world robotic platforms.
This is a highly hands-on role combining robotics engineering, machine learning, simulation, and hardware deployment.
What You'll Do
Evaluate Robot Foundation Models & Policies
Benchmark and evaluate robot foundation models in simulated environments
Design evaluation frameworks for robotic reasoning, planning, manipulation, and navigation
Measure generalization, robustness, and task performance across diverse scenarios
Build infrastructure for large-scale simulation-based testing and validation
Train World Models for Robotics
Develop and train world models that enable robots to understand and predict environment dynamics
Build systems that learn from multimodal robot data including vision, depth, state, and actions
Improve environment understanding, forecasting, and decision-making capabilities
Work closely with simulation and AI teams to advance robotic world modeling systems
Build Real-World Robot Learning Pipelines
Collect and curate real-world robotics datasets
Train and fine-tune models using both simulated and physical robot data
Improve sim-to-real transfer for robotic policies and world models
Develop workflows connecting simulation, training infrastructure, and deployed robotic systems
Deploy and Operate Physical Robots
Set up, integrate, and maintain robotic hardware platforms
Bring learned policies and world models onto real robotic systems
Debug hardware, software, sensing, and control issues
Develop deployment pipelines for testing, validation, and continuous improvement
Work directly with robotic manipulators, mobile robots, sensors, and compute systems
Areas of Focus
Robot Foundation Models
Policy evaluation
Model benchmarking
Simulation-based testing
Generalization analysis
Performance measurement
World Models
Environment modeling
Predictive systems
Representation learning
Multimodal learning
Model-based reasoning
Simulation
Robotics simulators
Digital twins
Synthetic environments
Sim-to-real transfer
Evaluation infrastructure
Robotics Systems
Robot setup and integration
Sensors and perception systems
Robot control
Hardware debugging
Deployment workflows
What We're Looking For
Strong background in robotics, embodied AI, machine learning, or related fields
Experience working with physical robotic systems
Experience with robotic simulation platforms such as Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Habitat, Gazebo, or similar
Familiarity with robot learning, foundation models, or world models
Strong software engineering skills in Python and robotics tooling
Experience deploying software onto real robotic hardware
Ability to debug across hardware, software, and machine learning systems
Comfort working in a fast-moving research and engineering environment
Why This Role Matters
Moonlake's vision extends beyond simulation. We believe the future of robotics will be powered by world models that can learn in simulation and transfer seamlessly to the physical world.
This role sits at the center of that mission. You will help evaluate robotic intelligence in simulation, train the models that power robotic understanding, and deploy those systems onto real robots operating in the physical world.
Your work will directly shape how future robotic systems learn, reason, and act.
We are committed to being an on-site, in-person team currently based in San Francisco.
