Vention
The Physical AI Research Scientist at Vention advances autonomous manipulation capabilities by researching, prototyping, and deploying advanced robotics algorithms for manufacturing. The role involves building scalable AI lifecycle infrastructure, applying cutting-edge research, and collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams to solve complex system-level challenges. This position focuses on converting experimental algorithms into reliable, customer-ready manufacturing features.
Vention is a cloud-native manufacturing automation platform that lets engineers design, simulate, automate, and order factory equipment directly from a web browser. It combines a modular hardware ecosystem (extrusions, actuators, conveyors, robot arms, motion controllers) with unified software — design tools, MachineBuilder, deployment, operations, and support — plus a marketplace and turnkey solutions like palletizing, welding, and machine tending. The integrated hardware‑and‑software workflow accelerates time‑to‑deploy, reduces engineering effort, and enables connected industrial automation at scale.
