sEMG / Biosignal ML Scientist
About this role
REVEL is an AI robotics company developing physical intelligence for general-purpose humanoid robots. We capture the force, dexterity and intent of human work with our Neural Gambit wearable, and use it to train RAI, the intelligence that powers our robots. REVEL is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with R&D and engineering facilities in Prague and Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. This role is on-site with our engineering team in the Czech Republic.
The intent layer is REVEL's core differentiator: reading neuromuscular signals 30-100 ms before motion. We're looking for a scientist to decode high-density surface EMG into force and intent.
Responsibilities
Build decoders that map HD-sEMG into continuous force and joint angles
Characterise and exploit the 30-100 ms intent window
Design capture and labelling protocols for the data-collection workstation
Collaborate with the robotics ML team to feed clean signal into RAI
Run rigorous experiments on signal quality, drift and cross-operator generalisation
Requirements
Experience with EMG, biosignals, or time-series machine learning
Strong signal-processing fundamentals
Proficiency in Python and PyTorch or JAX
Experimental rigour and the ability to work with noisy physiological data
Bonus qualifications
Background in neuroscience, biomechanics, or motor control
Experience with high-density electrode arrays
Familiarity with real-time inference constraints
Company at a glance
REVEL's mission is to build the future skilled workforce the world is running out of. We address the industries that are losing their most experienced workers faster than they can replace them, starting with precision manufacturing, skilled trades, retail and hospitality.
We build robots that perform a wide range of tasks at human-level dexterity. Our robots learn the way apprentices learn, by working alongside experts and internalizing the force, the intent, and the judgment behind every motion. This is the missing modality in robotics today, and it is why our robots work like skilled humans, not like robots.
We are based in San Francisco with R&D offices in Prague, and we are backed by leading European and US investors in deep tech and physical AI. Our team combines decades of performance capture and virtual production experience with hardware engineering from aerospace and industrial robotics.
If you are a manufacturer, a distribution partner, or a company facing a skilled labor shortage you cannot solve with hiring, we want to talk.
