Applied AI Engineer

Norbert is building autonomous robots that deliver healthcare.

Our AI sensing platform enables existing robotic platforms to become care team members: rounding on patients, capturing vitals without contact (FDA-cleared for pulse and respiratory rate, more in the pipeline), running assessments, documenting to the EMR, and escalating when something’s wrong. Autonomously.

We’re not building demos. We’re deployed in real facilities today, monitoring hundreds of patients daily. We’re solving one of healthcare’s hardest problems: a global nursing shortage that will hit 40% by 2030.

We’re a small, international team backed by top-tier VCs, with offices in Brooklyn, Paris, and Montreal. We ship things that matter.

We're looking for an Applied AI Engineer to take our growing collection of foundation models and ML components from manually run, sometimes locally trained workflows to fully automated, production-grade MLOps pipelines: deployed reliably on robots in nursing facilities. We need someone who knows the model landscape cold, treats evaluation as a first-class engineering problem, and has strong opinions about when to prompt, RAG, fine-tune, swap, or buy.

You’ll work across cloud and edge deployments, and some of the systems you’ll touch are on a SaMD pathway, so you’ll need to be comfortable shipping under regulatory constraints.

Integrate foundation models and ML components (VLMs, LLMs, ASR/TTS, detection/segmentation, embeddings) into our production pipelines, using both open-weight models and third-party APIs

Build RAG and agent-style orchestration for clinical reporting and conversational interfaces

Ship real-time streaming pipelines (voice agents) alongside batch and request-response workloads
