The company works with global partners including ABB and Fortune 100 customers in manufacturing, logistics, and labs, and is seeking an early engineer to develop and deploy ML models and agentic AI systems for robot learning and behavior. The role offers the opportunity to shape the company's technology and culture from the ground up, working directly with founders who bring experience from Google and robotics research at UPenn GRASP.", "body_md": "Industrial Robots that Learn and Operate Like Humans\n\nMbodi is building embodied AI platform that makes robots learn and operate like humans, with natural language. Our software lets anyone teach robots new skills by talking to them and execute the learned skills reliably in production, in minutes. We are pioneering the next wave of robotics, where advanced generative models, agentic systems, and real world automation come together.\n\nWe are backed by top investors, part of YC X25, and working with global industrial partners including ABB and Fortune 100 customers across manufacturing, logistics, and labs.\n\nOur founders bring experience from Google and robotics research at UPenn GRASP, and we are building a small, senior team focused on one of the hardest problems in AI: bringing intelligence into the physical world.\n\nAs one of our early engineers, you’ll be responsible for developing and deploying cutting-edge ML models and agentic AI systems that power robot learning and behavior. As a founding team member, you’ll play a critical role in shaping our technology, culture, and mission from the ground up.\n\nThis is a chance to work on one of the hardest and most important problems in AI: bringing intelligence into the physical world.\n\nYou will work directly with the founders and help shape the core platform, from agent architecture and robot learning to production deployment with global industrial customers.\n\nWe are building a small, senior team that wants to solve hard problems with real world stakes.\n\nMbodi is an embodied AI platform that makes robots learn like humans, with natural language. So anyone can teach robots new skills by talking to them and execute the learned skills reliably in production, in minutes. We are pioneering the next wave of robotics, where advanced generative models meet real-world applications. Backed by top investors and already working with global industrial partners (e.g., ABB), we’re redefining what’s possible in robotics and automation.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mbodi-ai-yc-p25-is-hiring-founding-machine-learning-engineer-robotics", "canonical_source": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/mbodi-ai/jobs/WYAcNkX-founding-machine-learning-engineer", "published_at": "2026-06-06 12:00:56+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-06 12:12:15.539902+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["robotics", "machine-learning", "artificial-intelligence", "ai-startups", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["Mbodi AI", "YC X25", "ABB", "Fortune 100", "Google", "UPenn GRASP"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mbodi-ai-yc-p25-is-hiring-founding-machine-learning-engineer-robotics", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mbodi-ai-yc-p25-is-hiring-founding-machine-learning-engineer-robotics.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mbodi-ai-yc-p25-is-hiring-founding-machine-learning-engineer-robotics.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mbodi-ai-yc-p25-is-hiring-founding-machine-learning-engineer-robotics.jsonld"}}
