Applied Researcher

Your New Role and Team

Sanctuary AI–a multi award-winning LinkedIn Top Startup company–is seeking an exceptional Applied Researcher, Reinforcement Learning (RL) to join our team in engineering and innovating unique robotic manipulation tasks.

As an Applied Researcher, you'll be responsible for selecting the most promising state of the art (SOTA) approaches, designing training and data-collection pipelines, supervising the process of testing these algorithms in simulation, and deploying them to our robots in real-world settings. With access to in-house robots, you'll also have a unique opportunity for impactful work with new haptic and proprioceptive sensing modalities.

Success Criteria

• Design, implement, and improve SOTA RL algorithms and test them in real-world settings
• Keep up to date with SOTA RL methodologies and robotics
• Identify, communicate, and drive promising research directions to the team
• Find ways of improving existing implementations of RL learning pipelines with regards to standard metrics such as sample efficiency, speed, computational resource usage, and scalability
• Design RL training and data-collection pipelines to facili...
