Artificial Analysis, San Francisco (On-site)

The role

Job description: Member of Technical Staff (Robotics)

LOCATION: SAN FRANCISCO, CA (ON-SITE, 5 DAYS A WEEK, IN OUR SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE)

The opportunity

What you need

You have an intense interest in AI and robotics, a genuine desire to become a world expert at their intersection, and strong analytical and coding skills to back it up.

We expect the strongest candidates for this role to come from one of three backgrounds. You should clearly fit one of these profiles:

Robotics and Embodied AI – backgrounds include Robotics Engineer, Research Scientist, ML Engineer, or similar roles working on robot learning at robotics companies (e.g. Physical Intelligence, Figure, Generalist AI, Skild AI, 1X, Tesla, Boston Dynamics) or the robotics teams of major AI labs and chipmakers (e.g. Google DeepMind, NVIDIA). You have hands-on experience with modern robot learning - VLAs, world models, cross-embodiment training, sim-to-real - and understand how robot foundation models work at a technical level. You're looking for a role with more breadth and industry exposure than a pure research or engineering position, where you can combine technical depth with client-facing work and strategic analysis.
AI and Machine Learning – backgrounds include ML Engineer, ML Researcher, AI Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Technical PM, Solutions Engineer, or similar roles at AI companies or AI-focused teams. You have hands-on experience with modern AI systems and understand how models work at a technical level. You haven't necessarily worked on robots, but you follow the robot foundation model space closely and want to make embodied AI your specialty.
Strategy Consulting – backgrounds include Management Consultant, Associate, Engagement Manager, Data Scientist, or similar roles at firms like McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or equivalent. You know how to structure ambiguous problems, build analytical frameworks, and communicate findings to senior stakeholders. The key differentiator: you have a genuine technical interest in robotics and ability to code - you follow the field closely, you have opinions on where the technology is heading, and you want to be closer to the subject matter than consulting allows.

Across all three profiles, we require

Strong analytical and critical thinking skills
Proficiency in Python and data analysis
Genuine, demonstrable interest and knowledge of frontier AI and robotics - we want people who have informed opinions about where the field is heading, not just people who watch the demos

WHY ARTIFICIAL ANALYSIS?

Shape how AI gets built: The leading AI labs track our benchmarks and use them to guide their development priorities. Your work will directly influence the direction of AI.
Become a world expert in AI: You will evaluate every major model, across every major capability, as they are released. Very few roles offer this breadth of exposure to frontier AI.
Work with the most important players in AI: You'll manage relationships with teams at the leading AI labs and major enterprises as a trusted, independent voice.
Join at a defining moment: We're 40+ people and fast growing, backed by some of the most connected investors in AI. The people who join now will shape the product, the team, and the strategy as we scale.
Competitive compensation including equity
Our team is split across San Francisco, CA & Melbourne, Australia
