Job Description
Principal Robotics AI Engineer (Loco-Manipulation & Whole-Body Control)
Job Overview
AI.DA STC (Strategic Technology Centre)'s NEAR (Next-gen Edge AI & Robotics) Lab is building a deep ground robotics research capability. We're looking for a Principal Engineer to anchor our loco-manipulation and whole-body control work. This involves making legged platforms reliable for contact-rich manipulation and cooperative tasks in unstructured environments. This is an engineering-first role with active research participation. The primary measure of impact is shipping working systems on real hardware. Publications happen alongside that work, co-authored with academic collaborators and lab engineers when the technical contribution warrants it. You'll join a small ground robotics team, partner with our embodied AI lead, and work alongside academic collaborators, startups and robotics vendors in Singapore and abroad. This role reports initially to the Lab Director. As the ground robotics team g...
