Company mission
To build a truly abundant society through general-purpose robots capable of performing any kind of work autonomously.
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent
- 2+ years of relevant work experience or equivalent
- Proficiency working with large codebases in Python, including testing
- Ability to rapidly prototype ideas in code in an independent manner
- Familiarity with basics of linear algebra and supervised machine learning
- Experience with Deep Learning Frameworks (Pytorch, TF, JAX, etc.)
- Fast thinker and learner
- Highly independent code contributor
- Capable of performing world-class machine learning research but willing to work on infra and operational scaling of the fleet when needed
- Good judgement in scoping research problems and infrastructure
- Perseverance
Desirable
- Robotics and ROS experience
- Full-stack web development (e.g. Vue.js, serverless application design, SQL or other databases)
- Has built large programming projects on their own for fun (e.g. open source projects)
What the job involves
- The AI residency role involves developing full-stack infrastructure for simulation, data management, and learning
- Day to day: scale up datasets used for training end-to-end navigation and manipulation
- Build the “data engine” (frontend UI and backend) to review logs, clean, and label data
- Upgrade the simulation stack into a platform to test end-to-end door opening and navigation product in simulation
- Minimize sim-to-real gap to reduce development iteration time
- Work with our robot operations team to test out research ideas in sim and real world
- Your role on the team will be to scale up imitation learning and sim2real algorithms on state-of-the-art hardware
- You will get to deploy code to a hundred robots at customer sites
- We aim to (1) double the number of tasks the robot can perform and (2) half the error rate on existing tasks, quarter over quarter
- The team works closely together to scale up a single approach to a production-ready system, rather than publishing research papers
Application process
- Introduction Stage - we have initial conversations to get to know you better
- [30m] Recruiter Screen with Win Yu
- [45m] Hiring Manager Screen with a AI team
- Team Interview Stage - we then dive into your experience in more depth and introduce you to members of the team. This is also the stage where you will do your take-home challenge
- [90m] Technical Deep-Dive conversation with the AI team
- Final Interview Stage - we move you to our final round
- [15m] Role expectation management with Eric Jang
- [30m] Conversation with CEO Bernt Øivind Børnich
Our take
The field of robotics has advanced massively in the last few years, to the point where androids no longer belong to the realm of science fiction. 1X, formerly known as Halodi Robotics, is developing androids capable of human-like movement and behaviour, to employ in workplaces and homes across the globe.
1X's androids are strong enough to move shipments but gentle enough to handle fragile items, making them ideal for work in retail storerooms or distribution centers. In addition, they are able to open doors and take elevators, meaning it is simple to fit them into workplaces without making large adjustments.
Its home models have perhaps had the most attention, as the media and public are intrigued by the idea of an "intelligent android assistant" for the home. Although the adoption of working androids is still in its early stages, 1X has certainly made a splash in the space and may well be one to watch as it helps to shape the future of robotics.
