## Job description

## About Genesis

We are a full-stack general-purpose robot company, born across San Francisco and Paris and bound by a single mission: to make general-purpose robots a reality, unlocking infinite physical labor for the world and freeing people for creativity, exploration, and the pursuits they love for their own sake. We are French and American by birth and global by nature. We are backed by partners who share our vision, including Eclipse, Khosla Ventures, Bpifrance, and HSG, alongside Eric Schmidt, Xavier Niel, Daniela Rus, and Vladlen Koltun. Our people work across the Bay Area and Europe, building the engine that will teach robots to do real work in the real world. We recently unveiled Eno, our wheeled, dexterous robot powered by our GENE foundation model, and we are starting to put it to work with real customers.

## What You'll Do

- Own the technical path from customer use case to working deployment, turning real-world workflows into solutions our robots can reliably execute.
- Work directly with customers to understand their operations, assess automation feasibility, and define requirements, success metrics, and deployment scope.
- Design and implement deployment solutions across product management, robot hardware, model capabilities, tooling, and customer systems, making practical tradeoffs between performance, reliability, and integration complexity.
- Get hands-on at customer sites: configure systems, run evaluations, debug failures, and drive iterations until the solution meets agreed acceptance criteria.
- Work closely with research, robotics engineering, and platform teams to turn field failures into actionable improvements, distinguishing what requires a better model, a software fix, or a change to the physical setup.
- Build reusable tools, integration patterns, and deployment playbooks that make each new site faster and easier to bring online.

## What You'll Bring

- Track record of delivering technical solutions in real-world environments, with ownership that extends through integration, troubleshooting, and customer acceptance.
- Strong hands-on engineering skills, including Python, comfort working in Linux, and experience integrating hardware and software through APIs, interfaces, or control systems.
- Enough robotics depth to investigate a failed task across system.
- Ability to translate an ambiguous customer request into a concrete technical plan, explain tradeoffs clearly, and set expectations grounded in what the system can deliver.
- Strong bias toward the field over the whiteboard, with the persistence to work through the gap between a successful demo and reliable daily operation.
- Clear written communication skills to document configurations, failure modes, and operating procedures that others can use without you in the room.
- Comfort operating with incomplete information and traveling to customer sites to support deployments.
- Bonus: Experience with robot manipulation, ROS/ROS 2, industrial automation, or integrating systems into manufacturing and logistics workflows.

## About Genesis

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Genesis AI is a full-stack robotics company building general-purpose robots with human-level dexterity and intelligence, powered by its own foundation model and hardware.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage – $105M raised)
- **Headquarters**: Paris, France (with offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and London)
- **Founded**: 2024 (emerged from stealth in July 2025)
- **Founders**: Zhou Xian (CEO), Théophile Gervet (President & Co-founder), Yi-Ling Qiao (Co-founder), Tsun-Hsuan Wang (Co-founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Robotics Engineering / General-Purpose Robotics
- **Target customers**: Enterprises in manufacturing, laboratories, hospitals, and logistics; future expansion into homes.
- **Mission**: “Build the world’s most capable robots that unlock new possibilities for humans.”

## Products & Services
- **Eno (General-Purpose Robot)**: A full-body robot designed to operate reliably in factories, labs, hospitals, and homes. Driven by the GENE foundation model, it features 20 active, back-drivable degrees of freedom in its hands – matching human size and dexterity.
- **GENE-26.5 (Foundation Model)**: The AI model that powers Eno. It understands goals, reasons through changing conditions, and completes tasks end-to-end. Trained on massive human-based internet video data and proprietary simulation.
- **Data Collection Glove**: A lightweight, sensor-loaded glove worn by humans to collect high-quality manipulation data in real-world settings (e.g., lab technicians, manufacturing workers). This glove bridges the “embodiment gap” and feeds the model with human skill data.
- **Simulation System**: A proprietary simulation environment that accelerates model training and evaluation, reducing the iteration bottleneck.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$105M** (Seed round, July 2025)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Eclipse (co-lead), Khosla Ventures (co-lead), Bpifrance, HSG; individual investors Eric Schmidt, Xavier Niel, Daniela Rus, Vladlen Koltun. Hardware manufacturing partner: Wuji Tech (China).
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount grew from stealth to ~53–60 employees across Paris, Bay Area, and London (monthly growth +16% on LinkedIn).
  - 29 active job postings as of mid-2026, with a +262.5% monthly increase in openings.
  - Demonstrated a wide range of manipulation tasks (cooking, piano, Rubik’s cube, lab work) in public demos.
  - In talks with multiple customers for commercial deployment in pharma and manufacturing.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full-stack integration**: Genesis controls both the AI model and the robotic hardware, enabling tighter optimization and faster iteration than companies that only do software or hardware.
- **Human-like dexterity**: The robotic hand matches human size, shape, and 20 degrees of freedom, allowing direct transfer of human demonstration data without an “embodiment gap.”
- **Data flywheel**: The combination of a low-friction data collection glove, simulation, and egocentric video creates a scalable pipeline for building a “human skill library.”
- **World-class team**: Founders and early engineers have backgrounds from Mistral AI, NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, Apple Intelligence, Unity, Epic, and leading robotics labs (Berkeley, CMU).

## Strategic Focus
- **Go full stack**: Continue integrating model, hardware, and data collection to deliver a complete general-purpose robot.
- **Commercial rollout**: Target early customers in pharmaceutical labs, manufacturing, and other industrial settings where dexterous manipulation is critical.
- **Scale data collection**: Expand the use of the data glove (both internally and with third-party partners) to rapidly grow the model’s skill repertoire.
- **Global hiring**: Aggressively grow the team across Paris, Bay Area, and London, especially in ML, simulation, rendering, and robotics engineering.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Values include candor, responsibility, limitless ambition, and a joyful journey. The team is described as multicultural, optimistic, and pragmatic.
- **Work model**: Hybrid/office-based presence in Paris, San Francisco Bay Area, and London. No explicit remote policy mentioned, but the company emphasizes in-person collaboration.
- **Engineering culture**: Builders get to work on the hardest problems in robotics and AI – from foundation models to hardware design to data systems. The team includes pioneers of generative simulation, Diffusion Policy, and GPU compilers.
- **Notable perks**: The chance to shape a category-defining general-purpose robot; close collaboration with world-class investors and advisors; fast-growing startup with significant resources ($105M seed).
