AI Research Engineer - Vision-Language Action Models

Griffin Labs is looking for a Founding AI Research Engineer to lead the adaptation and deployment of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. We are focused on solving high-dexterity manipulation through cross-embodiment learning—training models that generalize across diverse robotic platforms and hardware configurations.

The Role

You will own the full development lifecycle of autonomous capabilities. This is an end-to-end mission: from reviewing raw trajectory data and designing model architectures to deployment and fleet-level monitoring. You aren’t just training models; you are building the systems that allow them to function in the real world.

Key Responsibilities:

•  End-to-End Ownership : Lead the data-to-deployment loop—curating datasets, fine-tuning VLA models, and building the monitoring systems that ensure fleet-level reliability.
