Software Engineer: ML Optimization

We internally call this team MBMB (More Big More Better). You will own optimizations on both the training and on-robot inference stacks. We are still in a regime of step-function, not incremental, gains.

Making GPUs go brrrrr

Implementing ML, hardware, and software changes that lead to step-function gains

Optimizing both the inference and training stacks

Are proficient and stay current with the latest ML techniques for training and inference optimizations in transformer and diffusion based architectures

Will chase ML optimizations anywhere: From the CUDA kernels, to ML architecture, to frontend or backend network bottlenecks, CPU bottlenecks, NVLink and comms, to torch, numpy, and Python inefficiencies.

At Generalist, we are on a mission to make general-purpose robots a reality. We believe the industries and homes of the future will depend on humans and machines working together in new ways. Robots can help us build more and get more done.

We build embodied foundation models, starting with a focus on dexterity. This requires advancing the frontiers of data, models, and hardware, to enable robots to intelligently interact with the physical world.
