This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the cutting edge of robotics applied to real-world challenges. Your work will span the full range of this robotics stack, from robot drivers to the multi-robot orchestration system running in Berkshire Grey's in-house robot proving ground.

Responsibilities

Contribute to training and adapting of existing machine learning architectures for robot learning and visual scene understanding
Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of Berkshire Grey's robot policy learning data collection application
Determine what demonstrations, robot logs, sensor data, annotations, and failure cases are suitable for fine-tuning robot foundation models when applied to new tasks, embodiments, or environments
Stay abreast of the latest advancements in robotics and related fields, evaluating applicability to our challenges
Collaborate with external research partners to find solutions for BG's problem space
Assist with mentorship of more junior engineers or interns
Quickly prototype solutions, creating demos for stakeholders and visitors
Own solutions from the prototype stage to robust, production-ready features
