Reinforcement Learning Expert - Humanoid (human)

Together, we are taking the step into a new era of cognitive robots:

As An Expert In Reinforcement Learning And Behavior Cloning For Humanoid Robots At NEURA Robotics, You Will Lead The Development And Implementation Of Cutting-edge Algorithms And Systems. You Will Collaborate Closely With Our Robotics Engineering Team To Enhance The Autonomy, Adaptability, And Interaction Capabilities Of Our Humanoid Robots. This Includes

• Improve the learning pipeline for robust locomotion and loco-manipulation on the 4NE1 humanoid, from policy training to validated on-robot deployment
• Explore and adapt cutting-edge methods (behavior foundation models, general motion tracking, teleoperation) and ship to customers and other teams.
• Drive sim-to-real transfer (domain randomization, actuator modeling, physics alignment) to deploy policies from simulation onto real hardware with minimal performance gap.
• Integrate reinforcement learning and behavior cloning approaches to enable robots to learn from both simulated and real-world interactions.
• Collaborate with controls, hardware, and perception teams to ensure seamless integration of algorithms with robot hardware and sensors.
• Conduct experiments and simulations to evaluate and validate algorithmic performance in various scenarios.

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field
• Proficiency in programming languages like Python, C++ with hands-on experience in robotics frameworks (e.g., ROS2) and robotic hardware platforms
• Experience in developing and deploying reinforcement learning algorithms and behavior cloning techniques for robotic systems, with a strong grasp of humanoid robot dynamics, control theory, and sensor integration.
• Hands-on experience with Isaac Lab / Isaac Sim and/or MuJoCo, and PyTorch.
• Strong analytical skills and a proven ability to deliver innovative solutions in robotics, ideally including a track record of publications or contributions to conferences and journals
• Your communication skills make you shine
• You have a perfect command of the English language and, best of all, speak German well
