Fauna Robotics, an Amazon company, is hiring a scientist to build machine-learning motor controllers for robots that work in everyday human spaces. The role involves developing controllers using reinforcement learning, imitation learning, or similar methods to produce adaptive whole-body motion, integrating them with hardware under real actuator and energy constraints, and validating them in simulation and on real robots. The posting asks for a PhD or a master's plus six years of applied research, publications at robotics or ML conferences, simulation and sim-to-real experience, and a record of leading technical projects and mentoring junior staff.
