Researcher

The next ten years of AI will not be won in software. They will be won in the physical world. In factories, hospitals, kitchens, fields, and homes. The companies that own that data will own the century.

MicroAGI is building it. We are the data layer for physical AI.

You will define what good looks like for the next generation of physical AI. That means designing the evaluations the field is missing, running them across our models and the public ones, and figuring out what the data is telling us. Your work shapes what the rest of the team builds.

What You Will Do

• Lead our evaluation and benchmarking research. Run the existing benchmarks from industry and research, design new ones where they fall short.

• Investigate how models behave on real robots versus in simulation. Close the gap.

• Drive research into intervention, autonomy, and the boundary between what a model can do alone and what still needs a human.

• Publish the work where it makes sense. Set the academic and public reputation of the team.

• Work closely with the research engineers to take ideas from paper to deployment.

Requirements

• PhD in robotics, ML, or a closely related field. Or equivalent published research.

• A strong record in evaluation, benchmarking, or applied robotics research. Public work we can read is a plus.

• Comfortable on real hardware, not just in simulation.

• High agency - you don't wait to be told what to do.

• Fluent in English.
