Kanaria Tech – Company Vision

Kanaria Tech is building foundational intelligence that lets machines move naturally through human-centric spaces.

Our goal is to enable any mobile robot to navigate in social environments without bespoke, platform-specific code.

Product Snapshot · Kanaria Robotic Model (KRM)

KRM is our core technology: a social-navigation foundation model trained on large-scale dynamic navigation environments.

Its design keeps it hardware-agnostic among AMRs, allowing deployment across various ground robots.

    What We're Looking For

    We’re hiring AI Engineers / Researchers who enjoy working across perception, sequence modelling, and reinforcement learning in a fast-moving startup.

    Essential expertise

    • Professional experience as an ML/AI Engineer.

    • Deep learning experience with PyTorch/TensorFlow and proficiency in Python.

    • Modern computer-vision methods (self-supervised learning, transformer backbones, contrastive / masked pre-training).

    • Multimodal modelling experience: integrating language, vision, action, or other sensor data into a unified learning system.

    • Foundations of imitation learning and reinforcement learning; able to stand up an RL loop in simulation.

    • Solid Python engineering practices—version control, experiment tracking, profiling.
       

    Helpful extras

    • Experience with large-scale temporal or sequential datasets and streaming data pipelines.

    • Familiarity with physics simulators (Isaac Lab, MuJoCo, Unity, Omniverse).

    • Model optimization for edge devices (e.g., quantization, pruning) and embedded deployment on Jetson-class hardware.

    • Contributions to open-source ML frameworks or published research.

    04

    How You'll Contribute at Kanaria as an AI Engineer / Researcher

    • Research & Prototyping – explore and implement algorithms that advance KRM’s perception and decision-making capabilities.

    • Data & Training Pipelines – collaborate with the software-engineering team to ingest video, curate labels, and scale training jobs on multi-GPU clusters.

    • Simulation & Evaluation – integrate new models into our simulation stack, design benchmarks, and analyse performance.

    • Team Collaboration – work closely with the research lead and CTO on technical direction; pair with simulation engineers and hardware testers for end-to-end validation.

    • Knowledge Sharing – keep the team current on relevant literature, tooling, and best practices.
