Company

hirify.global is an AI robotics company developing Physical AI-powered robots for dull, dirty, and dangerous industrial work, with a focus on real-world deployment and scalability.

What you will do

• Conduct research and build systems for embodied physical intelligence.
• Develop and evaluate methods involving Vision-Language-Action models, World Models, World Action Models, simulation, and reinforcement learning.
• Design and run robotics experiments covering perception, planning, control, and long-horizon behavior.
• Build training and evaluation pipelines for large-scale embodied learning systems.
• Work with research and engineering teams to move prototypes to real or simulated robot platforms.
• Contribute to technical reports, internal research discussions, and, where appropriate, publications.

Requirements

• Be a PhD student, recent graduate, or early-career researcher/engineer in Computer Science, Robotics, Machine Learning, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with modern machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
• Experience using AI-assisted coding tools and agentic development workflows to prototype, iterate, and build quickly.
• Ability to implement, debug, and evaluate research ideas in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong engineering judgment, including the ability to validate, refine, and productionize AI-assisted code.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience in robotic manipulation, mobile manipulation, or industrial robotics.
• Experience training, fine-tuning, or evaluating multimodal or embodied models.
• Experience with World Models, action-conditioned prediction, model-based learning, planning, or control.
• Hands-on experience with simulation platforms such as Isaac Gym, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, ManiSkill, Habitat, or similar systems.
• Experience with reinforcement learning, imitation learning, or post-training for robotic policies.
• Experience with real robot hardware, data collection systems, evaluation workflows, or deployment pipelines.
• Technical initiative demonstrated through research, open-source contributions, or high-impact engineering work.

Culture & Benefits

• Full-time residency lasting 3–6 months.
• Work directly with physical robots and iterate between simulation and physical execution.
• Access to large-scale GPU clusters and production-grade infrastructure.
• Dedicated support for fast experimentation on robotics and AI workloads.
• Company-provided lunch and dinner, a stocked kitchen, team events, and a covered premium fitness center membership.
