Career

Embodied AI Engineer – VLA models for Humanoid Robotics 

Location: Hanoi
Department: AI Task Execution
Level: Junior to Expert 

Role Overview 

VinMotion is on a mission to bring embodied AI to next-generation humanoid robots. We are seeking AI Engineers who will design, develop and deploy state-of-the-art Vision–Language–Action (VLA) models enabling humanoids to: 

➡️ Understand natural language instructions
➡️ Perceive and reason about complex environments
➡️ Execute safe and reliable actions in industrial settings 

Key Responsibilities 

• Research and develop VLA model architectures for humanoid robots (e.g., π₀, Navila, Groot-N1) combining perception, language and behavior 

• Implement cleaning and preprocessing pipelines for multi-modal data (e.g., text, images, and reference control signal) collected from teleoperation and simulation environments. 

• Apply imitation learning, offline reinforcement learning and preference-based learning to enable humanoid robots to perform intent tasks 

• Optimize trained AI models for low-data, real-time inference, and deploy them to edge/on-robot systems 

• Collaborate with robotics engineers to integrate intelligent behaviors into the robot brain 

• (Senior level) Lead research initiatives, mentor juniors, and contribute to publications/patents 

Qualifications 

Must-have 

• BSc/MSc/PhD in Computer Science, Mechatronics, Control and Automation, or related fields 

• Strong background in mathematics 

• Strong background in generative AI (LLM/VLM), computer vision and/or multi-agent systems 

Nice-to-have 

• Background in diffusion and flow-matching models 

• Experience with humanoid robots or robotic manipulation/navigation 

• Experience in working with ROS2 (C++/Python) and robot simulation frameworks (IsaacSim/Mujoco) 

• Publications in robotics/AI conferences 

What We Offer 

• Work on Vietnam’s first humanoid robot project. 

• Global partner network (Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.). 

• GPU cluster & robotics lab access. 

• Competitive salary + performance bonus.
