mimic is an early stage deep tech robotics & AI start-up based in Zurich and supported by leading VCs. We give industry workers a helping hand for tedious manual labor tasks and mitigate labor shortages with a versatile automation platform. Our automation solutions, driven by dexterous robotic hands and cutting edge AI trained on human observations, bring a new level of AI embodiment to the real world.
As an AI Research Scientist (Robot Learning) you will drive frontier AI model development and data flywheel project management for dexterous robotic manipulation. You will shape all aspects of the development of end-to-end AI models for robotics, from large scale multi-task pre-training to specialized fine-tuning and post-training. You will also be responsible for the implementation and management of the data flywheel process, supervising and organizing task specification, data collection, model training and model evaluation in the real world. As an early employee, you will immediately co-lead AI engineering and science in close contact with the founders and early team.
ResponsibilitiesDrive research and implementation for large scale, multi-task foundation AI models for robotics, quickly iterate over architecture design and parametersOversee model specialization for end use cases with fine-tuning and other post-training techniquesDrive the implementation and management of the data flywheel process, from data specification, to data collection, model training and real world evalsWrite clean, maintainable python code using deep learning frameworksWork closely with the Robotics and Hardware teams to ensure efficient and stable deployment on real world robots
RequirementsPhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Robotics or related field, or equivalent PhD-level experience in industry3+ years of experience training generative models4+ years of experience with developing and maintaining Python codeStrong empirical research abilities and intuitionsProject management / supervision experienceFluent English speaker
Nice to havePublished deep learning and/or robot learning research in leading conferences (NeurIPS, CoRL, ICML, ICLR, etc.)Experience in training large scale foundation models with distributed multi-GPU setupsRobotics and ROS2 experienceExperience with RL fine-tuning of generative modelsExperience in open source software development
Compensation & BenefitsWe offer a total compensation package including a competitive yearly base salary and a strong stock option package to make you part of our shared success.You will work with the founders from day one, shaping the company and participating in its success from its early stages.Surprise team trips, free gym and sports subscription, joint breakfasts and dinners and other exciting team activities.
