AI Research Engineer, Foundation Models Palo Alto, CA (on-site) About 1X We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance. The Role You will build large multi-modal generative “world models” that predict future sensor inputs and robot actions based on past observations. These foundational models enable robots to understand and operate effectively in unstructured, real-world environments. You’ll work across data pipelines, model architectures, and deployment to drive improvements in robot autonomy. This role combines cutting-edge research with hands-on product development to push the limits of robot intelligence.
