About Flexion: At 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. The Role: We’re looking for a talented MS or Ph D intern to join our team in Zürich and push the boundaries of how humanoid robots perceive and interact with the world. You will work at the intersection of generative whole-body trajectory generation (using diffusion models, flow matching, and/or auto-regressive models) and 3 D environment perception. If you enjoy solving open-ended problems in a fast-moving environment, this is a unique opportunity to learn from our world-class team of engineers and scientists, and contribute to our foundational software development. Required skills: Currently pursuing a Master’s or Ph D degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Machine Learning, or a related technical field. Experience in diffusion models/flow matching or learning-based trajectory generation with relevant project experience. Familiarity with generative modeling and its application to time series data. Excellent Python and Py Torch skills; comfortable writing clean, modular code for rapid experimentation. Strong, proven analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Ability to navigate and implement state-of-the-art methods from recent literature. Preferably: autonomous research/project work in human motion generation (neural avatars), robotic imitation learning, or ego-centric action prediction. Additionally, the following skills are a plus but not required: Experience in robotics. Experience with simulation environments. Experience with multi-modal generative models. Experience with finetuning foundation models, e.g., Gr00t or Smol VLA, to produce whole-body actions or kinematics motions. Competitive compensation A front-row seat at one of Europe’s most ambitious robotics companies An energetic, collaborative team with a bias for action
