About the role
About Us
Ultra is accelerating progress toward boundless automation through a grounded and applied approach to general-purpose robots.
Unlike traditional industrial automation that’s rigid and complex, our robots are zero integration—able to be installed in hours, not weeks—and are highly flexible, capable of quickly learning new tasks and delivering immediate ROI.
Founded by a team of three-time entrepreneurs with a decade of collaboration, Ultra moves fast and decisively. We already have robots in the field generating revenue and data, with plans to rapidly scale deployments this year.
We’re looking for an Machine Learning Scientist to join our NYC-based team (we are an in-person company), and help lead the development of our neural network robot controls, maximally leveraging our fleet of production robots and access to compute. We are an early stage company moving very fast in a rapidly growing space, and welcome people from any background as long as you’re excited to join our mission, drive immediate impact, and create a future where automation is accessible to all.
Who You Are
- Experienced with model training, deployment, and maintenance in a production environment
