Design, implement, train, and deploy machine learning and reinforcement learning algorithms for last-mile delivery robotics. Develop Python and C++ software, evaluate algorithms in simulation, and test them on Boston Dynamics Spot robots operating in unstructured outdoor environments. The role requires advanced expertise in ML or RL applied to physical robotic hardware, modern ML frameworks, and strong software engineering practices.
The summary above was generated by AI

At Boston Dynamics, we are pushing the boundaries of what advanced robots can do in the real world. The Spot team is building next-generation last-mile delivery capabilities, and we are seeking a curious, driven team member to develop cutting-edge machine learning (ML) and reinforcement learning (RL) solutions that run directly on our robots.


What You’ll Do

  • Design, implement, train, and deploy state-of-the-art ML/RL algorithms for complex last-mile delivery challenges
  • Develop and integrate software in Python and/or C++
  • Evaluate new algorithms in our simulation environments and directly on our fleet of real Spot robots in unstructured, outdoor environments

We’re Looking For

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field
  • Experience deploying state-of-the-art ML or RL techniques (for either perception or control) directly onto physical robotic hardware
  • Proficiency with a modern ML framework (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX)
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals in Python or C++. You know how to leverage modern AI coding tools to accelerate development while maintaining rigorous standards for testing and system architecture.

The base pay range for this position is between $180,000 to $240,000 annually. Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including, but not limited to internal equity, job related knowledge, skills and experience. This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting. Boston Dynamics offers a generous Benefits package including medical, dental vision, 401(k), paid time off and a annual bonus structure. Additional details regarding these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer for employment.
