What this role is
A hands-on robotics engineer role focused on deploying learned policies and world models onto real robot hardware, diagnosing failures in physical systems, and designing data collection protocols. This suits someone with proven experience shipping robotic software end-to-end and debugging the gap between simulation and real-world execution.
Our summary, not Runway’s wording. The full posting is on their site.
What they ask for
Required
- Deployed software on real robot hardware and iterated through physical failures
- Fluency in software-to-robot interfaces: action/command spaces, control frequencies, observation pipelines, and calibration
- Ability to work at the intersection of software and physical systems
Nice to have
- Direct experience deploying learned policies (VLAs, diffusion policies) on real hardware
- Experience with video or multimodal generative models or world models
