Research Engineer - New Grad

What the role actually is

Applied Intuition is hiring new-grad research engineers for its research group. The team works on physical AI for self-driving, robotic generalists, humanoids, dexterous hands, and other autonomy systems.

For an early-career candidate, the notable part is the span: the listing points to model work, large-scale data, simulation, and deployed robotic systems rather than a single isolated research benchmark.

• Build research code and experiments for autonomy and robotic systems
• Learn from senior researchers working across physical AI and self-driving
• Use simulation, fleet data, and evaluation tools to test model behavior
• Help translate research ideas into systems that can survive practical constraints

• Early-career research engineering ability in robotics, machine learning, or autonomy
• Strong programming and experimentation habits
• Interest in embodied AI and systems that interact with the physical world
• Ability to learn quickly in a fast-moving applied research environment

Good new-grad research roles in robotics are scarce, especially outside academia. This one is worth flagging because Applied has both research ambition and infrastructure used by customers building real autonomous machines.
