Company mission
To propel human productivity through the world’s most accessible robots.
Role
Who you are
- Robotics experience is not necessary, we think if you have experience in autonomous vehicles, gaming or AR/VR, the skills will translate nicely
- Experience with AI or robotics isn’t required; we’re looking for experienced engineers ready to make a tangible impact in the AI robotics revolution
- If you're excited to be part of the team building the future of intelligent automation, we’d love to hear from you
- Have 5+ years of engineering experience, especially in tech and product-driven environments
- Have experience with game engines (Unity, Unreal, etc.), AR/VR/XR or physics simulators (e.g. Mujoco, IsaacSim, Drake, Pybullet, Gazebo)
- Support AI research through simulation and pre-deployment validation metrics
- Believe in the potential of AI to reshape industries, even if you’re new to the field
- Bonus points if you experience in a deployed robotics environment
What the job involves
- Our AI team is looking for simulation engineers to empower our robotic arms to perform complex sequences of tasks in physical workplaces for our customers
- We’re seeking simulation engineers to help architect the future of robotics by helping us bridge the sim-to-real gap for deploying our AI models to our robots
- Design and implement high-fidelity simulation environments that accurately model real-world physics and robot dynamics
- Build and maintain simulation infrastructure that accelerates our AI model development cycle through:
- Predictive success metrics for pre-deployment validation
- Automated benchmarking systems integrated with CI/CD pipelines
- Enables rapid A/B testing of model iterations
- Design and implement simulation-based evaluation metrics that correlate with real-world AI model performance, including task completion rates, generalization capabilities, and robustness measures
- Develop synthetic data generation pipelines that help improve model training efficiency and reduce sim-to-real gaps
- Collaborate with AI, robotics, and product teams to ensure simulation environments meet real-world deployment needs
Our take
In recent years, the field of robotics has brought to life ideas that once belonged to the world of sci-fi. But, robots are still extremely complex to program, making the automations they facilitate out of reach for many businesses.
Standard Bots is setting out to change this, with AI-powered robots and a complementary robotics platform that means they can be programmed through simple demonstrations. This approach should broaden the accessibility of robots to businesses of all sizes, enabling them to employ automations that can give them a competitive edge.
It's an intriguing proposition, and investors agree, with the company raising substantial funding to support its mission. Standard Bots plans to use these funds to expand its engineering team and speed up the development of its robots. The company will, however, likely need to contend with competition from inexpensive robots from China as it develops into the future.
