About this role

Sr. SDE - Robot Manipulation & Learning, Frontier AI Robotics San Francisco, California, USA We are seeking to hire software engineers who are excited about research for robot manipulation with the goal of developing manipulation systems at human-level performance. Our strategy focuses on a real2sim2real pipeline that learns from large scale human videos and leverage simulation and reinforcement learning to bridge the human-to-robot embodiment gap. Key job responsibilities • Learning manipulation: Design and implement robot learning algorithms for manipulation • Leverage vision models to extract 3D hand-object manipulation information from real-world situations • Develop large-scale real2sim2real pipeline for manipulation • Multimodal Sensor Fusion: Integrate tactile sensing, proprioception and vision into the learning pipeline About the team At Frontier AI & Robotics (FAR), we're not just advancing robotics - we're reimagining it from the ground up. Our team is building the future of intelligent robotics through frontier foundation models and end-to-end learned systems. We tackle some of the most challenging problems in AI and robotics, from developing sophisticated perception systems to creating adaptive manipulation strategies that work in complex, real-world scenarios. What sets us apart is our unique combination of ambitious research vision and practical impact. We leverage Amazon's massive computational infrastructure and rich real-world datasets to train and deploy state-of-the-art foundation models. Our work spans the full spectrum of robotics intelligence - from multimodal perception using images, videos, and sensor data, to sophisticated manipulation strategies that can handle diverse real-world scenarios. We're building systems that don't just work in the
