Ndimensions Labs is a group of technologists from MIT, the University of Waterloo, and the University of Washington, focused on building the infrastructure and learning systems behind next-generation robotics AI. Our focus is not only on deploying models, but on training, adapting, and scaling them for real-world embodied intelligence.We are developing agents that learn from large-scale multimodal data and improve through iterative fine-tuning, evaluation, and feedback. This role centers on the model training stack: foundation model adaptation, large-scale training pipelines, alignment, and continual learning for robotics.Position SummaryWe are hiring an AI/ML Engineer focused on model training and fine-tuning for robotics AI systems. You will work at the intersection of ML training, multimodal learning, and robotics data systems. The emphasis is on model quality, adaptation, robustness, and generalization.This position is dedicated to:Training multimodal models from scratch or from pretrained checkpointsFine-tuning foundation models (vision, language, and vision-language-action) for embodied tasksDesigning scalable training and evaluation pipelinesImproving data quality and alignment methodsResponsibilitiesTrain and adapt multimodal/foundation models (ViTs, VLMs/VLAs, diffusion policies, world models) for embodied robotics.Build scalable training and fine-tuning pipelines (distributed multi-GPU/multi-node; parameter-efficient fine-tuning such as LoRA/adapters,
distillation, QAT).Own data and iteration loops: curation, filtering, augmentation, and tight feedback with data and systems teams.Improve policies via learning methods (imitation, offline RL, RL) and rigorous evaluation/ablations (robustness, generalization, failure modes).Required QualificationsStrong background in machine learning and deep learning.Hands-on experience training or fine-tuning large transformer-based models.Experience with distributed training (e.G., PyTorch DDP, FSDP, DeepSpeed).Understanding of multimodal learning (vision-language, vision-action, or similar).Experience working with large datasets and building reproducible ML pipelines.Solid Python skills and familiarity with ML tooling ecosystems.Preferred Qualifications (Not Required)Experience training or fine-tuning models for robotics, embodied AI, or control.Background in reinforcement learning, imitation learning, or policy optimization.Publications in top ML or robotics venues.Location: Boston, MA or Toronto, CanadaSalary range: $100,000 – $300,000 per year, based on qualifications and experienceEqual Opportunity Statement: Ndimensions Labs is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.Application InstructionsApply via LinkedIn or
