About Mind:

Mind Robotics is building Physical AI for real-world industrial deployment, starting with the factory floor. We believe the hardest problems in AI are solved when researchers and engineers are hands-on with the physical world every day - and we're looking for people who are passionate about robotics, value ownership, and are excited to tackle difficult problems. Join us if you want to move beyond digital intelligence and put intelligence into motion.

About the team and the role:

At Mind Robotics, we’re building generalized physical AI—robotic systems capable of dexterous, adaptive, and reasoning-intensive work in real-world industrial environments. Our models sit at the core of this effort, bridging cutting-edge foundation model techniques with real-world robotic execution.

We’re looking for a Research & Modeling Engineer to build and train the core models that power our systems, and ensure they perform reliably on real robots in production environments.

Responsibilities:
  • Design and run large-scale training pipelines for multimodal / VLA systems.

  • Own the full loop: data → training → evaluation → deployment on real robots.

  • Develop scalable infrastructure for data ingestion, training, and iteration.

  • Translate model outputs into reliable, high-performance robotic actions.

  • Work hands-on with robots to debug, iterate, and improve behavior.

  • Define data strategy (quality, scale, diversity) and evaluation frameworks.

  • Continuously improve performance across real-world tasks and environments.

Requirements:
  • Built and trained large-scale models (LLMs, VLMs, or robotics foundation models).

  • Deep understanding of modern ML, training dynamics, and optimization at scale.

  • Experience with distributed systems and data pipelines for large-scale training.

  • Comfortable operating end-to-end: from data → model → real-world deployment (including robots).

  • Domain strength in at least one: robotics, VLA systems, or training LLMs/VLMs from scratch.

  • Strong Python proficiency.

Nice to Have:
  • Experience with dexterous manipulation or complex robotic tasks.

  • Experience deploying models in real-world, production environments.

What you need to know about the San Francisco Tech Scene

San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area attracts more startup funding than any other region in the world. Home to Stanford University and UC Berkeley, leading VC firms and several of the world’s most valuable companies, the Bay Area is the place to go for anyone looking to make it big in the tech industry. That said, San Francisco has a lot to offer beyond technology thanks to a thriving art and music scene, excellent food and a short drive to several of the country’s most beautiful recreational areas.

Key Facts About San Francisco Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 365,500; 13.9% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Google, Apple, Salesforce, Meta
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, fintech, consumer technology, software
  • Funding Landscape: $50.5 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Bessemer Venture Partners, Greylock Partners, Khosla Ventures, Kleiner Perkins
  • Research Centers and Universities: Stanford University; University of California, Berkeley; University of San Francisco; Santa Clara University; Ames Research Center; Center for AI Safety; California Institute for Regenerative Medicine
