People + Robots Together
We exist to help manufacturers navigate the skilled labor shortage.
If human welders were readily available, we would've stayed out of the welding business. With a 600k welder shortage forecasted by 2030, skilled welders will become more scarce and your competition will make it even more challenging to keep the welders you have.
To bridge the gap across the world, manufacturers are looking to automation and robotics at exponential levels, with forecasted growth of $10 Billion in the next five years.

Machine Learning Engineer, Robot Learning, Loco-Manipulation
Engineering
Columbus, Ohio
View Details
What You’ll Do
- Build the team's robot-learning stack from the ground up. This is a founding role; you are designing the training infrastructure, data pipelines, simulation environments, model architectures, and deployment workflows — not inheriting them. Multi-modal perception, scene understanding, and learned action generation work in tight coordination on the stack you help create.
- Stand up ML infrastructure — training pipelines, experiment tracking, data versioning, reproducible sim-to-real workflows.
- Train policies across manipulation, locomotion, and the whole-body control coupling between them. On legged platforms performing precision tasks, manipulation and locomotion are not separable — every arm motion shifts the centre of mass; the whole-body controller compensates in real time to maintain accuracy at the tool. Behavioural cloning, diffusion- and flow-matching action generation, reinforcement-learning fine-tuning. Cobots, industrial arms, and mobile platforms.
- Deploy in stages — through a phased rollout strategy that builds production trust over time. Every real-world execution accumulates training data for continuous improvement.
- Collaborate daily with mechanical engineers, perception engineers, robotics engineers, and manufacturing domain experts. Within-department rotation across home teams is expected.
Who You Are
- Ph.D. or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field — or equivalent experience.
- 2+ years of hands-on robot learning experience. You have trained policies and deployed them on real robot hardware — not just in simulation.
- Sim-to-real transfer experience — built simulation environments, implemented domain randomisation, transferred policies to physical robots, debugged where it broke.
- Implementation experience with diffusion-based or flow-matching action policies for robots, and with action chunking.
- Reinforcement learning for robotics applied on real hardware — sample-efficient on-robot methods, residual RL on top of pretrained policies, on-policy fine-tuning of foundation policies.
- Strong programming skills in Python; PyTorch and ML training infrastructure at production level.
- Practical experience with NVIDIA Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab, MuJoCo, or equivalent.
- Comfort with physical robots — debugging, iterating, deploying.
- Strong communication skills, able to convey complex technical concepts to a diverse audience.
Strongly Preferred:
- Edge inference on edge-class hardware (TensorRT, ONNX, FP16 / INT8 quantisation). Real-time on-robot deployment is a core requirement.
- Visual self-supervised representation learning experience on robot or 3D-vision tasks.
- Legged-robot or whole-body control experience — locomotion, manipulation on a floating base, or the integration between them on quadrupeds or humanoids.
- Physics-informed ML — hybrid models where learned components are constrained by known physics.
- Experience building ML pipelines or infrastructure in a team setting.

Who We Are
Senior Machine Learning Engineer (Tech Lead), Robot Learning, Loco- Manipulation
Engineering
Columbus, Ohio or Remote
View Details
What You’ll Do
- Set the ML technical direction for the team, architectural choices on perception, reasoning, and action generation; training methodology; data strategy; the path from research bet to deployed capability. As one of the first senior hires, you are designing the approach, not extending it.
- Own the architectural workstreams that define the team's research and engineering bets — multiple core build streams across action-policy learning, world-model-based supervision, and policy-orchestration interfaces.
- Design hybrid physics-ML architectures for the integrated loco-manipulation stack. Manipulation, locomotion, and the whole-body control coupling between them are not separable on legged platforms; sub-millimetre continuous-trajectory precision at the tool requires the whole-body controller to compensate for base motion in real time. Today on fixed bases; tomorrow on mobile platforms. The integration is the hard problem; you own its design.
- Own the cross-functional partnerships with hardware teams, domain experts, customer-facing assurance standards, and upstream / downstream teams. Drive a phased deployment strategy that builds production trust over time.
- Mentor and shape the team, guide junior and intermediate ICs across software, ML, robotics, and perception backgrounds; establish code-quality standards, review practices, and engineering norms; help identify and attract next hires. You write code throughout — this is a tech-lead role, not a step away from the work.
Who You Are
- Ph.D. or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of hands-on robot learning experience. You have shipped sim-to-real policies on real robots, across different tasks or platforms.
- Demonstrated technical leadership and mentorship. You have made architectural decisions on robot learning systems that others built on, and you have meaningfully shaped the development of more-junior engineers as a tech lead. This can be in academia (leading a lab subgroup, advising students) or industry.
- Deep sim-to-real expertise — domain randomisation, system identification, teacher-student distillation, sim-to-online fine-tuning. You can design a transfer strategy for a novel problem.
- Full-stack robot learning — fluent across simulation construction, policy training, data collection, real-world deployment, and failure diagnosis.
- Physics-informed ML or hybrid control experience — PINNs, neural ODEs, MPC with learned dynamics, process-model-conditioned generation, or similar.
- A defensible view on visual-reasoning-centric substrates for grounded spatial / physical reasoning.
- Push-back willingness — you can defend a non-obvious architectural commitment under pressure, and change your mind on evidence.
- Strong programming skills in Python and C++; production-quality code with reproducibility, testing, and maintainability discipline.
- Strong communication skills, able to convey complex technical concepts to a diverse audience.
- Demonstrated independent technical authority — you have set technical direction in a tech-lead capacity, leading a research subgroup, owning an architecture across multiple ICs' work, or making the architectural call on a high-profile project.
Strongly Preferred:
- Edge inference depth (TensorRT, ONNX, edge-class deployment).
- Loco-manipulation experience — locomotion, whole-body control, and manipulation on legged platforms (quadrupeds, humanoids). The coupling between the three is the hard problem; direct hands-on experience or a defensible architectural view both count.
- Precision manipulation or surgical robotics — sub-mm accuracy tasks.
- Flow-matching action-head design at depth — direct experience with the architectural pattern.
- Visual self-supervised representation learning experience on robot or 3D-vision tasks.
- Multi-skill workflow or hierarchical policy design — skill sequencing, failure detection, control mode transitions.
- Experience building ML capability from early stage — first or second ML engineer on a team, or built a research group's infrastructure from scratch.

- Build and refine sales enablement materials: battle cards, competitive analysis, objection handling guides, ROI frameworks, pitch decks, and demo scripts.
- Develop deep competitive intelligence. Know the landscape cold—traditional automation, other robotics companies, manual welding operations—and translate that into actionable positioning.
- Define and manage buyer personas and journey mapping. Ensure all marketing efforts are grounded in how technical buyers actually evaluate and purchase.
- Partner with the sales team to understand deal dynamics, win/loss patterns, and where marketing can have the most impact on the pipeline.
Who You Are
- 5+ years of experience in product marketing, ideally at a B2B company or industrial/manufacturing technology environment
- Strong strategic thinking paired with hands-on execution. You can develop the GTM strategy and also write the battle card yourself.
- Excellent writing and storytelling skills. You can translate complex technical capabilities into clear, compelling narratives for different audiences.
- Experience with product launches, competitive positioning, and sales enablement in a technical product environment
Desired but not required:
- AWS CWI or CWE certification
- Experience with robotic welding or automation systems
- Background in applications engineering, technical sales, or product marketing at a manufacturing technology company
- Experience building ROI models or business case analyses
- Familiarity with heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, structural steel, or defense manufacturing
- Working understanding of AI/ML concepts (you don't need to write code, but you should be able to explain what a model does and why it matters)
