Job details:
We are building a robotics company focused on creating robots that can perform useful real-world physical tasks.
We are an experienced founding team with IIT alumni, and we are looking for our 3rd team member, a hands-on Robotics AI/ML Engineer who can help us build our first working POC and become a core member of the technical team.
Your primary focus will be on the intelligence layer of the robot : perception, learning, planning and control using AI/ML + ROS.
This is not a conventional engineering role. You will work directly with the founders, build from scratch, experiment rapidly and have significant ownership over how the robot learns and executes physical tasks.
Your first mission
Help us build a working robotic POC that can see its environment, understand objects, control a robotic arm and learn to execute defined physical tasks reliably.
What you will work on
- ROS / ROS2 based robotic systems
- Computer vision and object detection
- Robotic arm manipulation and motion planning
- Camera + sensor perception
- AI/ML models for robotic task execution
- Teleoperation and demonstration data collection
- Imitation learning / learning from demonstrations
- Robot control and autonomous execution
- Integrating AI models with real robotic hardware
What we're looking for
Strong hands-on experience with:
- Python
- ROS / ROS2
- Computer Vision / OpenCV
- AI/ML
- Robotic arms or manipulation
- Hardware-software integration
Experience with some of the following would be a strong plus:
- PyTorch
- MoveIt / MoveIt 2
- NVIDIA Jetson
- Depth cameras / RealSense
- Reinforcement Learning
- Imitation Learning
- Vision-Language-Action models
- Robotic foundation models
You don't need to be an expert in everything.
We are primarily looking for someone who understands AI/ML + ROS and can make algorithms work on an actual robot, not just in simulation.
Why join now?
You won't be joining a large robotics team to work on one small component.
You'll join as person #3, work directly on our first robot and have the opportunity to influence the architecture, technology and product from day one.
We care much more about what you have built than your degree or credentials.
📍 Location: Pune
💰 Competitive compensation + meaningful ESOP opportunity
