Sunnyvale, California

Research Engineer, World Models

Target start date: immediately.  Relocation provided.

Since its founding in 2015, 1X has been at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for household use. Our mission is to create an abundant supply of labor via safe, intelligent humanoids. At 1X, you’ll own critical projects, tackle unsolved research problems, deliver great products to customers, and be rewarded based on merit and achievement. 

We are looking for a Research Engineer in World Models. In this role, you will build multi-modal generative models (video, audio, text, actions) that predict all of NEO’s future sensor readings and actions from its past observations and actions. Such foundation models enable general understanding of unstructured environments.


Responsibilities

  • Full-stack engineering, from data engineering to model architecture design to shipping polished products

  • Translate improvements in world models to improvements in robot autonomy.

  • Implement high-throughput data loaders for large multi-modal datasets.

  • Implement tokenizers and transformers to fit web-scale robot data.

  • Predict how real-world robot performance scales with pre-training metrics (e.g. log loss).
