Robotics & Embodied AI jobs

Embodied AI went from research curiosity to funded product roadmap fast — humanoid startups, warehouse automation, and the self-driving veterans are all hiring people who can put learned policies on real hardware. Roles span imitation learning, sim-to-real transfer, and the unglamorous calibration that separates a demo video from a deployment.

ROS is still the connective tissue, with Isaac Sim and MuJoCo for simulation and PyTorch for the policies themselves. Hardware proximity is the catch: this is the least remote-friendly corner of ML, because the robot lives in a lab and someone has to reset it. Candidates who have shipped anything on a physical system skip most of the line.
