About the job
🌍 Senior LLM Research Scientist | Advanced AI Systems | San Francisco (Onsite)
📍 Location: On-site in San Francisco
You’ll join a team building AI systems with real-world physical capability - models that can experiment, engineer, and manufacture beyond simulation. With strong technical foundations and large-scale projects already in motion, this team is pushing the frontier of advanced intelligence.
The work is deeply hands-on and first-principles driven, offering true ownership of end-to-end systems and the opportunity to create capabilities that don’t yet exist.
đź’ˇ Why join
- Lead research in planning, reasoning, and tool use for autonomous engineering systems
- Define prompting frameworks, structured tool invocation, model alignment, and preference optimization
- Advance verifier-guided RL, long-horizon behaviors, and MoE routing in a fast-moving research environment
- Collaborate closely with systems, data, simulation, and tooling teams operating real engineering workflows
- Competitive compensation up to $300,000, plus meaningful equity
If you’re looking for a role where research directly translates into physical AI capability, I’d be happy to share more or make an introduction.
