Do you believe the path to general-purpose physical AI runs through noisy, real-world factory deployments? Are you excited by the challenge of turning the classical robotic stacks into the foundational training data for physical AI? Do you want to bridge the gap between world-class ML research and industrial-scale robotic execution? If your answers are yes, we should talk. At Nomagic, we are executing a humble pivot for general-purpose physical AI.

We believe that physical AI is fundamentally a knowledge transfer problem - we are leveraging the "internet data" of robotics - massive deployment logs from real systems operating in production environments - to bootstrap our efforts. We are looking for Research Engineers who will help us to build, train, and deploy foundational models that bring our fleet from a classical control stack to generalized AI mastery. Offer essentials Play with real robots, solving real problems, every day. Relocation package.

Flexible working hours. English-speaking environment. Here is why we love this job ourselves, and hope you will enjoy it too: We combine world-class research with top-notch engineering and apply it to solve real problems The data already exists. We have robots in production at scale. We aren't waiting for datasets to be collected; the byproduct of our machines doing useful work is being created right now. We measure what matters. We test our code in unit tests, simulations, and directly on real robots.

Grounding our models in deployment allows us to truly measure performance. High leverage, high impact. We’re still a highly focused team. If your training recipes improve our agents, you directly change the economics of the company. World-class peers. Our team has built Google Warsaw, unicorn startups, led research in DeepMind, tested rocket engines, and worked at top companies like Nvidia and ByteDance. Now, we are shaping the reality of Physical AI together. We are building the bridge.

We aren't a new startup looking for an application; we are an established player bootstrapping physical AI. We believe that this will be the first true proof-of-concept for scaled physical AI. What you will do Your focus will be defined by the intersection of Robotics and ML and large-scale multimodal model training - expertise in both is optimal and alternatively eagerness to learn.

Expect challenges across two main pillars with the opportunity to specialise: Core Research & Large-Scale Infrastructure Own the Training Stack: Des
