Founding Robotics & Physical AI Engineer - (C1)
Wipro: Physical AI Lab — Location: Mountain View, California (100% On-Site)
FTE Only - No Contractors
About the Role
At WIN Labs, we're creating intelligent robotic systems that can perceive, reason, and act in the real world. From multi-robot coordination and agentic AI to Sim2Real learning and autonomous manipulation, our teams are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in industrial robotics.
We're launching a new Physical AI Lab in Mountain View, California, and looking for a hands-on engineer who loves building, experimenting, and deploying real robotic systems. This lab serves as WIN Labs' US innovation hub, bringing cutting-edge research to life through live demonstrations, customer engagements, rapid experimentation, and real-world deployments.
You'll work closely with our core Robotics & Embodied AI team in Bengaluru while helping establish and grow our Mountain View presence. If you're excited about robotics, autonomy, foundation models, and seeing your code come alive on real hardware, we'd love to talk.
