Research Scientist, VLA Models - Atlas

As a VLA Research Scientist on the Atlas team, you will architect, train, and deploy the large-scale behavior models that enable high-performance dexterous manipulation on Atlas. Your work will focus on building models that take multimodal input (vision, language, tactile sensing, task context, robot state), and produce grounded actions that generalize across manipulation tasks, embodiments, and environments. You will design large-scale behavior cloning and imitation learning pipelines, and integrate learned components into a complex, real-world robotic system. You’ll collaborate closely with robotics, controls, software, and hardware teams, and rapidly test your work on our state-of-the-art humanoid.…
