Senior Robotics Software Engineer, Large Behavioral Models

Toyota Research Institute (TRI) is pioneering the future of robotics with a mission to improve the quality of human life. We're seeking a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to join our Large Behavioral Models team, where we're working to make general-purpose robots a reality. Our vision encompasses robots that can assist with household chores, cooking, and helping older individuals maintain independence.

The role involves working at the intersection of robotics and machine learning, developing novel systems that can operate in unstructured environments. We're building on the latest advances in machine learning and leveraging large-scale datasets of physical interaction to create truly general-purpose robots. Our team operates a fleet of robots and focuses on robot-embodied teaching and deployment.

As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer, you'll be part of a team with deep multi-functional expertise across simulation, perception, controls, and machine learning. We measure success through fundamental capabilities development and research impact via open-source software and publications. The ideal candidate should be self-driven with a "make it happen" mentality, capable of independent work while collaborating effectively with a larger group.

Working at TRI means joining a diverse and inclusive community dedicated to fostering innovation and collaboration. We offer a unique opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology that could revolutionize how robots interact with and assist humans in their daily lives. The position offers the flexibility of hybrid work arrangements in Cambridge, MA, allowing you to maintain work-life balance while contributing to cutting-edge robotics research and development.
