Senior AI/ML EngineerEarly-Stage Robotics Startup | Paris (Hybrid) | €100–150k + EquityWe’re partnering with a seed-stage robotics startup in Paris that’s building next-generation intelligent robots powered by advanced AI. This is a foundational engineering role where you’ll shape both the AI and robotics architecture from the ground up.As a Staff AI/ML Engineer, you’ll design and deploy the core AI and robotics systems that power intelligent behavior, perception, and planning in cutting-edge robots. You’ll work closely with the founders and robotics engineers to integrate large language models (LLMs), vision-language models (VLMs/VLAs), and high-performance GPU programming into production-ready robotic systems.You’ll have a direct impact on product, architecture, and AI research integration, with real ownership over the full stack of robotics intelligence.What You’ll Be DoingDevelop and optimize GPU-accelerated ML pipelines for real-time robot perception and reasoningBuild and train vision-language models (VLMs/VLAs) for multimodal robot understandingIntegrate LLM-driven reasoning and planning into autonomous robotics systemsCollaborate with robotics engineers to deploy AI models onto edge devices and robotsContribute to MLOps practices and scalable AI infrastructure for roboticsExplore cutting-edge AI research and translate it into practical, real-world robotic applicationsBonus if you have:Experience with robotics stacks (ROS, ROS2, Isaac SDK)Background in simulation or hardware-in-the-loop testingPrior work at early-stage startupsWhat's in it for you?Compensation: €100,000–€150,000 + meaningful equityImpact: Foundational role in a seed-stage robotics startupLocation: Hybrid Paris setup, 2–3 days per week in the officeGrowth: Shape AI/robotics architecture, product features, and technical cultureCulture: Collaborative, research-driven, fast-moving team with ownership and autonomyIf you’re an AI/ML Engineer excited about building the next generation of intelligent robots, this is a rare opportunity to join early and have an huge impact.
