Jobs in Redwood City, CA

About the role

As a Research Engineer on the AI Research team, you will own the end-to-end loop of Embodied AI. You will leverage our massive, "in-the-wild" multimodal datasets to develop models that don’t just move - they generalize, self-improve, and redefine what is possible in unstructured human environments.

What you'll bring

• Deep experience in AI and robotics research, specifically in deploying deep learning models onto physical robots (not just simulation).
• Hands-on experience with Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, Video Generation, or large-scale transformer architectures.
• Mastery of Python and PyTorch (or JAX).
• Familiarity with simulation stacks like MuJoCo, Isaac, or Drake.
• The ability to write maintainable, production-ready research code that scales across GPU clusters.
• A PhD (preferred) or Master’s in CS/Robotics with a significant publication record in top-tier conferences (RSS, CoRL, ICRA, NeurIPS, CVPR, or ICLR).
• Experience with founding-stage startups or leading small, elite research teams.
• Deep understanding of classical robotics (controls, state estimation) to complement learning-based approaches.
• Experience profiling and optimizing foundation models for low-latency inference on edge devices.
• At Dyna Robotics, we build technology for the real world, which requires a team as diverse as the environments our robots inhabit.
• Don’t let a checklist stop you.
• Data shows that underrepresented groups often only apply if they meet 100% of the criteria.
