HCMC_Intern/ Junior/ Senior AI Engineer-Physical AI for Humanoid Robotics

Make History

We’re not hiring “an AI Junior.” We’re recruiting a championship-minded AI engineer.

Humanoid robots will likely become the next industrial revolution.

Most teams will build demos. A few will build machines that actually work in the real world.

We’re building that team

. We are a small team with high standards and big ambition.

If you want a career where you can point to a real humanoid robot and say “I helped build that robot”

, this is your seat.

The Company

Physical Robotics is a Norway-based humanoid robotics company founded by Dr. Phuong Nguyen (ex–cofounder of 1X Technologies)

and backed by Skyfall Ventures together with leading Norwegian industrial partners and investors.

Our mission is to build a production-grade humanoid platform

that combines high-performance hardware with physical intelligence

, systems that perceive, plan, and act reliably in real-world environments.

We are building for the next inflection point: industrial deployment of humanoid robots in manufacturing and operations.

We benchmark ourselves against the strongest global players like Tesla, Figure, Boston Dynamics, Toyota, Xiaomi, and 1X Technologies with the aim to build systems that stand with the best.

For the A.I team, you will work with experienced experts from top institutions and companies from the US and EU to handle one of the most difficult challenges in A.I.

Your Responsibilities

• Data → model pipeline:

  preprocessing, dataset building, labeling strategy support, reproducible training runs

• Model evaluation:

  metrics that reflect reality, ablation discipline, error analysis, stress testing under domain shift

• Deep learning implementation:

  training and finetuning models in PyTorch / TensorFlow / JAX

• Applied ML domains:

  contribute to CV / NLP / signal processing

  components depending on project needs

• LLM post-training:

  exposure to SFT

  and post-training workflows for real tasks (not just demos)

• Engineering discipline:

  clean experiments, versioned configs, documentation, and results that others can reproduce.

Role Overview/Requirement

As a Junior AI Engineer, you will work within a structured engineering environment, executing designs and learning from experienced engineers.

• Strong background in Mathematics (Linear Algebra, Statistic and Calculus), Computer Science (DSA, OOP, OS)

  and AI/ML fundamentals.

• At least 1 year experience or required at least 1 method publication in premiere venues in AI/ML/CV/NLP (required rank B CORE or CCF C+)
• Graduated or going to be graduated in Computer Science, Mathematics, Information Technology, Computer Engineering.
• Strong coding skill in Python/C++ and problem solving.
• Expert with deep learning frameworks: PyTorch / TensorFlow / JAX.
• Experience in CV, NLP, or signal processing.

• Familiarity with data preprocessing

  and model evaluation.

• Familiar with LLM post-training

  and SFT.

• Experience in handling noisy dataset

  and time series dataset processing

  .

• High learning velocity: willingness to learn new techniques and execute fast.

Nice to have

• Top ranking in Kaggle

  (competitions, notebooks, rankings).

• Medal or track records in competitive programming ( Codeforces, AtCoder, etc.

  ) is a plus.

• Hands-on experience in training models from scratch (not just doing fine-tuning on pretrained models).
• Publications in top tier conferences such as Neurips/ICLR/ICML/ICRA/ICCV/CVPR/ACL/AAAI is a plus.

• Interest in robotics

  or embodied AI.

You are:

• Excited to build real hardware

  , not just models

• Comfortable learning by testing, failing, and improving
• Willing to take ownership of your designs
• Curious, disciplined, and detail-oriented
• Motivated by hard engineering problems, not shortcuts
• Ready to grow into a world-class hardware engineer

This role is for people who want to earn their place

in a global humanoid robotics race.

Benefits

• Career Growth Opportunities:

  Opportunities to grow professionally by leading financial strategies for an innovative company at the forefront of humanoid robotics.

• Innovative and Dynamic Work Environment:

  Be part of a fast-paced, high-tech industry, contributing to groundbreaking technological advancements.

• Networking and Exposure:
