Research Engineer/ Scientist

About this role

Dyna Robotics is seeking a Research Engineer to develop embodied AI and robot learning algorithms that enable general-purpose robots to operate effectively in unstructured environments. You'll own the full pipeline from model design through real-world deployment, working with multimodal datasets and cutting-edge architectures like Vision-Language-Action models and diffusion-based learning.

What you'll do

• Design and implement robot learning algorithms (reinforcement learning, imitation learning, diffusion models) for complex manipulation tasks
• Architect and scale multi-modal foundation models and video generation systems for improved world modeling
• Manage end-to-end research-to-production pipeline including data curation, training, and hardware deployment
• Evaluate and iterate on models using physical robot fleet in real-world customer environments
• Collaborate with AI, hardware, and teleoperation teams to optimize system performance
• Write production-grade research code that scales across GPU clusters

What they're looking for

• Robot learning (imitation learning, reinforcement learning, diffusion models)
• Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and video generation architectures
• Python and PyTorch (or JAX)
• Deep learning deployment on physical robots
• Robotics simulation tools (MuJoCo, Isaac, Drake)
• Large-scale transformer architectures
• Classical robotics and control systems
• Model optimization for edge device inference
