Mbodi AI, a YC P25 startup, is developing an embodied AI platform that enables robots to learn and operate like humans using natural language. Their software allows anyone to teach robots new skills through conversation and execute them reliably in production within minutes. The company represents the next wave of robotics where advanced generative models meet real-world automation.

Backed by top investors, Mbodi AI already works with global industrial partners including ABB and Fortune 100 customers across manufacturing, logistics, and laboratories. Founders bring experience from Google and UPenn GRASP robotics research. The small, senior team focuses on solving one of AI's hardest challenges: bringing intelligence into the physical world with robust systems connecting foundation models to reliable execution.

The company seeks a founding engineer to develop and deploy cutting-edge ML models and agentic AI systems powering robot learning. This role requires applied research at the intersection of generative AI and robotics, with focus on real-world applications. Candidates need strong AI/robotics experience, proficiency in Python/PyTorch, and comfort with building systems that work under pressure in industrial environments.
