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.
Role:
We’re looking for a talented MS or PhD intern to join our team in Zürich and push the boundaries of how humanoid robots perceive and interact with the world. You will work at the intersection of 3D scene reconstruction and generative modeling to help us build photorealistic, interactable 3D environments. This is a hands-on role where you might move quickly from research concepts to functional implementations, iterate on 3D representations, and experiment with generative models for spatial data. If you enjoy solving open-ended problems in a fast-moving environment, this is a unique opportunity to learn from our world-class team of engineers and scientists, and contribute to our foundational software development.
Required skills:
Additionally, the following skills are a plus but not required:
We at Flexion Robotics (flexion.ai) are a young company in Zurich working on the next generation of humanoid robot software to enable robots to perform useful tasks autonomously.
We work dynamically and move fast. Every new employee at this stage will have significant ownership of their current project.
We offer a competitive remuneration in the form of a competitive base salary and additional components/benefits depending on the specific role and the experience of the applicant.
