Machine Learning Intern, Manipulation

Persona AI is developing and commercializing rugged, multi-purpose humanoid robots that perform real work. The Machine Learning Intern will assist in building machine learning models and infrastructure, working closely with the ML team to solve practical problems in robot learning.

What you'll do:

• Work with the ML team to develop and improve machine learning models and the infrastructure
• Monitor and evaluate the performance of models in the real world
• Collaborate on the design and development of the Persona ML software stack and support its application in manipulation, navigation, locomotion, and perception

What they're looking for:

• Courage and grit to tackle some of the hardest problems in embodied AI
• Enthusiasm for working collaboratively in a high paced team environment
• Experience with deep learning frameworks (Pytorch, JAX, TensorFlow, etc.)
• Experience with cloud computing to develop models, manage data, etc. (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Strong understanding of the state of the art research in robot learning (behavior cloning and reinforcement learning for manipulation, world models, etc.)
• Understanding of the challenges of deploying neural network models in the real world
• Capable of writing high-quality software
• Thrive in fast-paced and ambiguous environments
• Strong first principles thinker
• An advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in computer science, robotics, machine learning, or another related field
• Published papers at top ML/Robotics conferences (ICML, ICRA, CoRL, RSS, NeurIPS)
