Hi,

FractalBrain is an independent, VC backed research laboratory in London, building a new paradigm for machines that learn continuously. Our mission is universal intelligence.

This role will own the robotics roadmap, including which platforms and hardware we bet on, and hire the robotics team over time. You’ll start with established robotics environments and build the bridge between them and our agents. Sensor streams go into our active-sensing interface, and actions come back out in real time.

Requirements include hands-on experience with ROS 2 and Gazebo (or similar simulation), plus a track record of robots that worked outside a demo.

For more information see: [FractalBrain - Hiring](https://fractalbrain.ai/hiring) and if interested, please reach out to [hiring@fractalbrain.ai](mailto:hiring@fractalbrain.ai)

Note the role is based in London, and we aren’t able to provide visa at this time.

Thanks,  
Marzia
