Descripción
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher or senior robotics engineer. Take humanoid and quadruped robots out of the lab and into industry: with Swiss partners, you deploy reinforcement learning, robot foundation models and agentic systems in the real world. Senior Robotics Engineer / Postdoctoral Researcher 60\\-100 % \*\*School:\*\* School of Engineering \*\*Starting date:\*\* January 2027 or by appointment. \*\*Your role\*\* \* You conduct applied research and development as a senior robotics engineer / postdoctoral researcher in the Embodied Mobile Agents (EMA) research group, deploying reinforcement learning and VLA/WAM policies on humanoid and quadruped robots in the real world. \* You drive our current focus topics: flexible industrial automation through agentic embodied AI systems, robotic foundation models and reinforcement learning for mobile manipulation. In a new project, we will be looking into lowering the entry barrier to robot teleoperation and imitation learning for non\\-technical users through automated dataset curation and real\\-time feedback. \* You turn results into publications and open\\-source code contributions. \* You collaborate with companies, universities and other partners in Switzerland and the EU. Most of our projects are applied research and innovation projects with Swiss companies, mainly funded by Innosuisse. \*\*Your profile\*\* \* You hold a PhD in robotics, or in computer science or a related field with a focus on AI for robotics. \* You are a pragmatic "maker" with a strong drive to build things that work and are appealing to use, and you have hands\\-on experience with real robots, including prototyping and modifying robots with off\\-the\\-shelf equipment. \* You have proven competencies in robot learning (reinforcement learning, imitation learning, robot foundation models) and in classical robotics (motion planning, perception and navigation, teleoperation). \* You are a strong programmer and work confidently with ROS /
