Almond

| We’re seeking an applied researcher passionate about our mission and ready to lead ALM-1: our robotic foundation model. You’ll design its architecture and training pipeline, driving both research innovation and real-world deployment success. Your responsibilities will include: Pushing the limits of a production-ready robotic foundation model, with customer deployment success as the top KPI Implementing, extending, and advancing state-of-the-art robotic manipulation techniques Running experiments on cutting-edge compute and robotic hardware Building environments and pipelines to collect, process, and train on real-world data We welcome researchers at all levels. Some of the most impactful robotic manipulation work has been led by undergraduates performing at a PhD level. We encourage: Researchers who want to continue publishing their work Aspiring founders who see Almond as a launch pad for their own ventures Students eager to accelerate their careers—joining us can condense four years of research into one, while leading our AI team
