Research Member of Technical Staff- Post-training & Robot Learning

We're looking for Research Scientists and Research Engineers with deep robotics or autonomous systems domain knowledge to adapt our web-pretrained video model to real robot tasks. Post-training at Rhoda means taking a causal video generation model pretrained on internet-scale data and fine-tuning it on robot-collected demonstrations to produce reliable, generalizable behavior — with as little task-specific data as possible. We hire across levels — from senior to staff.

• Design and implement RL training pipelines to improve robot policy performance beyond what imitation learning alone achieves — reward design, online data collection, and policy optimization
• Develop and apply RL algorithms (PPO, GRPO, or similar) adapted to the video prediction setting, including reward modeling and feedback collection strategies for physical task performance
• Design and implement broader post-training pipelines:
