Embodied Agent Intern

Über diese Stelle

About Flexion:
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.
The 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 on agentic systems built on vision language models to enable high-level desicision making and perception in humanoid robots, synthetic data generation pipelines and deployed systems in real-world and simulation.
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.
Requirements
Required skills:
Currently pursuing a Master's or PhD degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Machine Learning, or a related technical field.
Experience with large language models / vision language models, agentic patterns, model deployment and inference
Familiarity with synthetic data generation and automatic annotation at scale
Excellent Python skills; comfortable writing clean, modular code for rapid experimentation
Strong, proven analytical thinking and problem-solving skills
Ability to navigate and implement state-of-the-art methods from recent literature
Additionally, the following skills are a plus but not required:
Experience in robotics
Experience in simulation environments
Experience with fine-tuning vision language models
Experience with modern inference engines, e.g. vLLM, SGLang
Benefits
Competitive compensation
A front-row seat at one of Europe's most ambitious robotics companies
An energetic, collaborative team with a bias for action
