Adexis is a London-based frontier research lab building the somatosensory cortex for Physical AI to solve dexterous manipulation. Backed by leading VCs, the team includes researchers from Anthropic, ElevenLabs, and Google DeepMind, led by a CEO with a track record of building production ML at Tractable and Wayve.
Location: London, UK
Salary: £150k-£225k + Equity
Responsibilities:
- Architect the entire post-training stack, converting pretrained foundation models into dexterous control policies using teleoperated demonstration data and imitation learning.
- Close the sim-to-real and human-to-robot gaps, ensuring policies learned from demonstrations survive contact and maintain reliability on physical hardware.
- Design and implement comprehensive evaluation frameworks to catch policy failures that are invisible offline but catastrophic in real-world contact-rich environments.
Qualifications:
- Proven experience training manipulation policies and deploying them on real hardware, with a deep understanding of why policies fail upon contact.
- Deep expertise in imitation learning and reinforcement learning, with the judgment to determine when RL is necessary despite its inherent training instability.
- A strong technical perspective on learning dexterous, contact-rich skills and experience with teleoperation systems or learning from human-led demonstrations.
Why this role is remarkable:
- Join a high-density founding team of outlier researchers from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and ElevenLabs to solve the hardest problem in embodied intelligence.
- Own the critical technical boundary between world models and physical action, defining how machines learn the power of touch and dexterous manipulation.
- Benefit from a talent-dense culture inspired by Bell Labs and Skunkworks, supported by top-tier VCs and a leadership team with deep experience scaling AI.
