Research Scientist / Engineer InternOnsite (Paris, France)

About the role

Your Mission As a Research Scientist/Engineer Intern, you will contribute directly to the core scientific and technical foundations to drive our mission. Working closely with the founding team, you will explore, prototype, and validate cutting-edge ideas into applications that support our long-term roadmap. Key responsibilities : • Build and ship learning-based control systems that power general-purpose humanoid robots in the real world • Train and deploy policies using reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and multimodal foundation-model approaches with embodied perception, reasoning and planning • Hack on simulation and real-world setups to close the sim-to-real gap and move faster from experiment to deployment • Dig into the full robotics stack to chase down latency, bottlenecks, and weird failure modes • Create intuitive teleoperation and human-in-the-loop tools to accelerate data collection and evaluation • Staying on top of relevant academic and industrial trends and identifying promising AI approaches for adoption What You Bring to the Table • A strong drive to get humanoid robots working in the messy real world, not just in papers or demos • Ability to take full ownership : spotting problems, proposing solutions, and pushing them through to deployment • Strong academic background in Robotics, AI, Machine learning, computer vision, control systems, or a closely related field (PhD, and exceptional Master’s, or final-year engineering students) • Understand state of the art in robotic manipulation control policies, and advancing the technological frontier in an impactful and efficient way • Experience with deep learning for robotics (RL, IL, VLA, or related), plus comfort jumping between code, data, and hardware • Production-level Python or C++ skills • Care for details: clean code, reliable experiments, and datasets that don’t crumble under pressure • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment • Excellent communication in English • Bonus : you’ve tinkered with humanoids before What You'll Get • A fast-growing startup environment with autonomy and learning opportunities • A young, dynamic team where you can make an impact • Start date : Flexible • Contract : Internship (3/6 month, under school agreement)
