Senior Robot Learning Engineer
Lightspeed, Northbrook, IL
The role
As Senior Robot Learning Engineer, you will own how LightSpeed's robots learn and perform physical skills. You will build the data pipeline that captures how people do the work, the policies that learn from it, and the executor that runs every action on the robot, classical or learned, behind one interface.
Our robots do contact-rich, high-variance work: taping seams, routing cable, finishing drywall, setting fixtures. Your systems decide whether a new trade takes days or weeks to teach, and whether it runs reliably once it does.
Nice to have
- MS or PhD in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Science or a related field
- Vision-language-action models or other robot foundation models
- Diffusion policies, ACT or similar visuomotor policy architectures
- Manipulation of deformable objects: cable, textile, tape
