Expert Robotics AI (f/m/div.)

• As part of our team, you will own the robotics AI architecture and technical hypotheses, selecting world-action and video-action models, VLA policies, embodied reasoning, or classical planning according to task, data, and execution constraints.
• You will design heterogeneous systems that connect learned models with Code-as-Policy programs, Graph-as-Policy structures, and reusable skills. You specify state and action representations, interfaces, execution checks, as well as recovery behavior.
• Additionally, you will implement and adapt models and agentic robot programs. You investigate predictive dynamics, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, or feedback-driven skill refinement, then justify your choices with baselines and ablations.
• You will also define evaluation across simulation and physical rollouts, including held-out tasks, embodiment transfer, intervention rate, latency, recovery, and repeatability. In doing so, you distinguish first-attempt success from results achieved through retries.
• Furthermore, you will collaborate closely with the deployment engineer to turn the architecture into a functioning embodiment. Together, you diagnose model, planning, or control failures and revise the design based on measured robot behavior.
• Using the Agentic AI Software Factory, you will drive implementation and experiments while validating generated code and experimental conclusions. You maintain reproducible artifacts, versioned skills, and accountable release decisions.
