Job description
What the role actually is
Apptronik is hiring a vice president to lead the embodied AI organization behind Apollo. The role owns AI strategy and a large technical organization spanning real-time controls, whole-body reinforcement learning, dexterous manipulation, VLA post-training, and agentic autonomy.
This is not a pure research seat. The listing frames the mandate around turning those stacks into one coherent system that performs useful work for customers.
What you would work on
Define Apptronik's embodied AI vision and roadmap for Apollo
Lead strategy across learned and classical autonomy components
Align model architecture decisions with product needs and customer deployment goals
Guide data collection strategy for improving humanoid robot behavior
Lead a multi-disciplinary AI, controls, and robotics organization
What they are asking for
Senior leadership experience across embodied AI, robotics, controls, or autonomy
Credibility in robot learning, manipulation, reinforcement learning, VLA models, or related research areas
Practical judgment for shipping physical products, not only publishing research
Ability to connect technical strategy with product roadmap and customer readiness
Experience leading large technical teams through ambiguous autonomy problems
Why this one is worth a look
Humanoid companies increasingly need AI leadership that can choose what becomes product, what stays research, and how the pieces fit together safely. This role is worth tracking because it owns that bridge at Apptronik rather than a narrow subsystem.
