What are the responsibilities and job description for the Reinforcement Learning Research Scientist position at Boston Dynamics?
Are you passionate about using machine learning to drive robot behavior? Curious what you’d be able to accomplish with total access to Boston Dynamics robots?
As a Reinforcement Learning Research Scientist on the Atlas team, you will join a world-class team of engineers and scientists focused on creating groundbreaking mobile manipulation behaviors for humanoids. We are investing in reinforcement learning (RL) as a key technology for achieving robust whole-body manipulation that can be deployed in real-world environments. In this role, you will be responsible for architecting, training, and deploying learned models to expand the capabilities of Atlas to solve challenging manipulation tasks. Come help us redefine the state of the art in humanoid RL!
