About Menlo
Menlo Research is an Applied R&D lab building Asimov, an open-source humanoid robot platform, and the full software stack that powers it. Our mission is to make humanoid labor economically viable -- turning software into physical labor at scale. We build across the full stack: hardware architecture, locomotion, autonomy, simulation, and infrastructure. We move fast, ship to real robots, and open-source everything we can. If you want your work to matter beyond a paper or a demo, this is the place.
The Role We are building the motion intelligence that lets Asimov walk, recover, climb stairs, and carry loads without falling over. As a Robotics Researcher in Locomotion, you will work on the Cyclotron team -- Menlo's locomotion training pipeline -- developing the controllers and learned policies that run on physical bipedal hardware. You will train in simulation, close the sim-to-real gap, and deploy to the robot. The bar is real-world robustness, not benchmark performance...
