Research Engineer, Robotics

About Mistral Mistral provides full‑stack AI solutions: from frontier models to developer tools, applications, and compute. We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems—across high‑stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector—co‑creating customised AI systems that they can run on their terms.

The Role

Research Engineer – Robotics . You will deploy and refine state‑of‑the‑art AI models for mobile manipulation on real robots, bridging the gap between research and practical applications. You will join a team focused on autonomous systems, architect data pipelines, maintain fleets of robots, and collaborate across teams to validate and iterate on robotic systems.

What You Will Do

• Deploy state‑of‑the‑art AI models for mobile manipulation on real robots in production environments.
• Architect and optimise data pipelines to support training of advanced robotics models on large‑scale datasets.
• Set up, maintain and scale fleets of robots, ensuring operational readiness and reliability.
• Design and conduct experiments to validate robotic systems in real‑world conditions.
• Collaborate with engineers and researchers to refine models and improve system performance.

What We're Looking For

• Hands‑on experience developing software for real‑world robotics applications.
• Mastery of Python and strong background as a software developer.
• High engineering competence, with the ability to design complex systems and deploy them in production.
• A self‑starter mindset, with autonomy to drive projects forward and adaptability to collaborate effectively.
• Experience with robotic control frameworks such as ROS, and proficiency in sensor integration and actuator control.
• Knowledge of control theory, machine learning or computer vision as applied to robotics.
• Experience with robotics simulators, hardware development, or maintaining large codebases.
• A proactive approach, focusing on delivering results and continuously improving systems.
