Research Engineer - Generative Humanoid Motion Generation

About Flexion :

At Flexion, we're building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real-world deployment of humanoids. We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex-Nvidia, ex-ETH Zürich) and backed by leading international VC firms. Within a few months, we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities with our partners.

The Role :

We are looking for an expert in whole-body motion generation to strengthen our Zurich team.

Inspired by recent successes in neural avatars and computer graphics, we aim to apply similar principles to generate whole-body motions for our humanoid robots.

The goal of this position is to develop and deploy state-of-the-art multimodal models for robot trajectory generation.

Requirements

Hands-on experience in the development and training of diffusion or flow matching models. Ideally, this includes either training robotic imitation policies or training models to generate whole-body motions for human avatars.

Particularly :

• PhD or master's degree in diffusion models / flow matching or learning-based trajectory generation with relevant project experience.
• Strong research profile with a high track record of publications at top computer vision, graphics and / or robotic conferences, such as ICCV / ECCV, CVPR, SIGGRAPH, CORL, RSS, etc.
• Excellent knowledge of Python, PyTorch, and hands-on experience in the training and fine-tuning of diffusion models and / or flow matching policies.
• Experience in the deployment of learning-based trajectory generation for robotic systems.
• Experience with modern GPU-based simulations such as Omniverse or Genesis.
• Good knowledge of state-of-the-art machine learning architectures.

We are looking for a person who enjoys working in a team in a very dynamic and fast-moving environment, and who is able and willing to take ownership of projects and decisions.
