On-site / Hybrid, with regular robotics laboratory access
POSITION FOCUS
Research excellence and deployable Physical AI
About The Role (Senior Researcher-Physical AI)
Fujitsu Research India (FRIPL) is building a Physical AI Lab to create robots that can perceive, reason, plan, learn, and act reliably in complex real-world environments. We are seeking an exceptional researcher with a PhD and a robust record of advancing robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, or embodied intelligence through rigorous research and physical-robot validation.
The successful candidate will shape novel research in robot learning and control while also connecting perception, task planning, world models, and action execution into dependable end-to-end robotic systems.
This role is intended for researchers who can convert ambitious scientific ideas into reproducible, measurable, and deployable capabilities.
Core hiring principle: Require broad familiarity across reinforcement learning, control, task planning, VLA models, and world models; expect genuine research depth in at least two areas; keep evidence of physical-robot implementation mandatory.
Key Responsibilities
Research and Algorithm Development
Conduct world-class research in Physical AI, embodied intelligence, robot learning, planning, and autonomous decision-making.
Develop novel methods in reinforcement learning, imitation learning, learning-based control, model-based RL, vision-language-action models, world models, and long-horizon task planning.
Design agents that connect semantic reasoning and task planning with motion generation, control, and closed-loop execution.
Advance robustness, safety, generalization, adaptation, and data efficiency for robots op
