What are the responsibilities and job description for the Research Scientist position at Scaled Foundations, Inc?
Scaled Foundations is an AI research and deployment company building general robot intelligence, and we are seeking a Research Scientist to join our team. We conduct focused research and engineering to build generalized robotics foundation models that work across form factors such as aerial, ground, manipulation, and others. We are looking for strong candidates who have a background in robotics and machine learning, with experience in areas like multimodal machine learning; synthetic data generation through simulation; LLMs; reinforcement learning and imitation learning for robotics; efficient training and inference.
By applying to this role, you will be considered for multiple teams, such as simulation, foundation model research, and robot deployment.
Research Scientist Responsibilities
- Independently implement state of the art multimodal machine learning models and techniques for robotics.
- Independently identify and execute on reasonable medium to large scale research ideas with many tasks. Apply robotics model improvements to relevant business needs.
- Come up with well thought out hypotheses with a clear focus. Independently design, run, and evaluate experiments to validate these hypotheses.
- Independently identify and debug common issues in training machine learning models such as overfitting / underfitting, efficiency bottlenecks etc
- Work with high fidelity simulation platforms for synthetic data generation at a large scale.
- Keep up to date with the state of the art in multimodal machine learning and foundation models for robotics applications.
- Lead publications and open-sourcing efforts. Communicate your learnings effectively to various stakeholders.
