About the Role

One Robot is building an evaluation platform for robot manipulation policies, replacing trial-and-error with rigorous validation to identify policy failures and guide data collection for improvement. The company is solving challenging technical problems in long-horizon autoregressive generation, world model controllability, and closing the sim-to-real gap, working with real customer data and deployment pressure.

Responsibilities

  • Train manipulation policies, including VLAs, diffusion policies, or end-to-end imitation models, and run them on real robots.
  • Validate the world model end-to-end by training policies in simulation, deploying on real hardware, and identifying transfer issues.
  • Build the infrastructure that enables policies to train and improve on the platform, pushing policy capabilities forward.

Requirements

  • Very strong coding skills in Python and PyTorch.
  • Proven track record of training manipulation policies that have run on physical hardware.
  • Hands-on experience curating real-robot demonstration datasets.

Location

  • San Francisco

Work Type

  • Full-time

About the Company

  • One Robot builds task-specific world models and an evaluation platform for robot manipulation policies.
  • The company is based in San Francisco and is backed by Accel, YC, several exited founders, and engineering leaders at leading AI companies.
  • Founded by Hemanth Sarabu and Elton Shon, who previously led robot learning at Industrial Next (YC W22) and have experience from Google, NASA JPL, and Tesla.
  • The company is small and emphasizes deep IC ownership, fast iteration, and direct responsibility.
