About the role

Our Mission Our mission is to solve the most important and fundamental challenges in AI and Robotics to enable future generations of intelligent machines that will help us all live better lives. We work in physical AI, on both existing commercial robots and our own custom hardware, from actuators and sensors to the software that runs them. As a Research Engineer you will work on exciting robots, including custom ones that exist nowhere else, take research from simulation to real hardware, and work directly with our research teams. We are onsite in our Zurich office. We are looking for multiple Research Engineers who are generalists with depth: roboticists who work across the whole stack and bring real expertise in one or more areas of it, such as simulation and learning, agentic systems, perception and spatial AI, or robot software and hardware integration. You will work with research, hardware and operations colleagues, and split your time between areas as projects require. If you are strong in one area, we expect you to understand the others, interface with them and contribute to them.
