AI Engineer – Human-to-Robot Learning (human)
About this role
Your Mission & Challenges
Model the Human Experience: Turn multimodal, body-worn data into representations a robot can learn from.
Bridge Two Bodies: Solve cross-embodiment transfer, translating human motion and interaction into action spaces a robot with a completely different body can use.
Build Foundation Models That Act: Design pretraining and fine-tuning strategies for robotic foundation models.
Prove It Works: Build the benchmarks that separate models that merely mimic from models that generalize.
Shape What Gets Captured Next: Turn model blind spots into sharp, concrete requirements for data capturing devices.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work shoulder to shoulder with hardware and systems engineering teams while staying laser-focused on the data and AI side.
What We Can Look Forward To
Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or comparable.
Real, hands-on experience with multimodal foundation models (VLA, video-action, or similar).
Experience with cross-embodiment transfer, RL based retargeting.
Deep understanding of low-level robotics control.
Strong grounding in imitation learning, representation learning, and self-supervised learning across sensor modalities.
Fluency in modern machine learning frameworks and large-scale training infrastructure.
A communicator who moves easily between researchers, engineers, and hardware teams.
Fluent English, German a plus.
Company at a glance
NEURA Robotics is a German high-tech company founded in 2019 in Metzingen near Stuttgart with the goal to revolutionize the world of robotics. Our mission is to expand the skill set of robots with cognitive capabilities so that they can work with humans in existing environments without having to invest in complex and costly safety systems. We aim to help make numerous fields of work more attractive, safer, and more social. Our guiding principle “we serve humanity” sums up this mission.
Today, more than 1500 team members from over 45 countries are working on advanced technology in the fields of environmental perception, drive and control technology, materials science, mechanical design, and AI.
By developing all key components such as AI, control software, sensor technology, and mechanical components in-house, the development team has made groundbreaking progress in a variety of areas.
With products such as MAiRA, the world’s first cognitive robot, or MiPA, a household and service robot, humanity awaits a new era of robotics. NEURA Robotics is currently working on launching 4NE1 (“For Anyone”), the first humanoid robot ready for series production.
With the Neuraverse, a comprehensive ecosystem for innovations in the field of cognitive robotics, NEURA Robotics is creating an important technical basis for automation solutions and enabling the networking of robots and partner companies on a global scale.
