Research Engineer - Generative Humanoid Motion Generation

ppAt Flexion, we're building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real-world deployment of humanoids. We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex-Nvidia, ex-ETH Zürich) and backed by leading international VC firms. Within a few months, we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities with our partners. /p pbRole: /b /p pWe are looking for an expert in whole-body motion generation to strengthen our Zurich team. /p pInspired by recent successes in neural avatars and computer graphics, we aim to apply similar principles to generate whole-body motions for our humanoid robots. /p pThe goal of this position is to develop and deploy state-of-the-art multimodal models for robot trajectory generation. /p pHands‑on experience in the development and training of diffusion or flow matching models. Ideally, this includes either training robotic imitation policies or training models to generate whole-body motions for human avatars. /p pParticularly: /p ul liPhD or master's degree in diffusion models/flow matching or learning‑based trajectory generation with relevant project experience. /li liStrong research profile with a high track record of publications at top computer vision, graphics and/or robotic conferences, such as ICCV/ECCV, CVPR, SIGGRAPH, CORL, RSS, etc. /li liExcellent knowledge of Python, PyTorch, and hands‑on experience in the training and fine‑tuning of diffusion models and/or flow matching policies. /li liExperience in the deployment of learning‑based trajectory generation for robotic systems. /li liExperience with modern GPU-based simulations such as Omniverse or Genesis. /li liGood knowledge of state-of-the-art machine learning architectures. /li /ul pWe are looking for a person who enjoys working in a team in a very dynamic and fast‑moving environment, and who is able and willing to take ownership of projects and decisions. /p pWe at Flexion Robotics (flexion.ai) are a young company in Zurich working on the next generation of humanoid robot software to enable robots to perform useful tasks autonomously. /p pWe work dynamically and move fast. The team is still fairly small and every new employee at this stage will have significant ownership of their current project. /p pWe offer a competitive remuneration in the form of a competitive base salary and additional components/benefits depending on the specific role and the experience of the applicant. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
