Sponsorship verdict
Sponsorship possible
One solid signal, not two — worth applying, and worth asking about sponsorship early.
- Employer is on a government sponsor recordThe US Department of Labor certified 12 H-1B/E-3 labor condition applications for this employer between Oct 2025 and Jun 2026 (latest Jun 2026) — the step every H-1B hire needs first. USCIS also records 7 H-1B approvals in FY2023. Source: LCA disclosure data (US Department of Labor (OFLC)).
- The posting doesn’t mention sponsorshipSilence isn’t a refusal — ask the recruiter before investing much time.
- No salary bar for this routeH-1B has no fixed salary bar: the employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for the role and area. Cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level.

US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

About the role
The Company: Faraday Future is a California-based technology company focused on the design, engineering, and development of intelligent, connected electric vehicles and related artificial intelligence–enabled technologies. Founded in 2014, the Company’s mission is to disrupt the automotive and technology industries by creating user-centric, technology-first experiences. The Company, together with its controlled subsidiaries, operates across multiple technology-driven areas, including AI electric vehicles, robotics, and its crypto business (AIXC), all under its upgraded Global EAI Industry Bridge Strategy, marking the beginning of a new chapter in AI mobility and Web3 integration. The Company aims to leverage the latest technologies and world’s best talent to realize exciting new possibilities across all of these lines. Faraday Future’s automotive business exemplifies its vision for luxury, innovation, and performance, while its FX strategy aims to introduce mass production models equipped with state-of-the-art luxury technology derived from the FF brand, targeted towards a broader market with middle-to-low price range offerings. FF is committed to redefining mobility through AI innovation. Join us in shaping the future of intelligent transportation and technology by creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact. Your Role: We are building the next generation of intelligent robots. As a leader in Robotics AI Model, you will own the critical pipeline that transforms pretrained foundation models into deployable robot policies — turning general-purpose AI into systems that can reliably manipulate objects, navigate environments, and perform complex physical tasks in the real world. This role sits at the intersection of embodied AI, robot learning, and foundation model adaptation. You will work across the full post-training lifecycle: curating demonstration data, fine-tuning vision-language-action (VLA) models or world models, training reinforcement learning policies in simulation, validating behaviors on real hardware, and optimizing models for on-robot inference. Your work will directly determine how capable, safe, and generalizable our robots are. Key Responsibilities: Model Post-Training & Fine-Tuning • Design and execute post-training pipelines for VLA and visuomotor policy models (e.g., diffusion policies, ACT, flow matching), including supervised fine-tuning (SFT), reinforcement learning (RL), and preference-based optimization • Fine-tune pretrained robot foundation models on task-specific demonstration datasets for dexterous manipulation, locomotion, whole-body control, and multi-step task sequencing • Develop and iterate on reward functions, verifiers, and RL training loops (PPO, GRPO, RLVR) to improve policy success rate and robustness in simulation and real-world deployment • Apply parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods (LoRA, QLoRA, OFT) to adapt large models to new tasks and robot embodiments under compute constraints Data Pipeline & Curation • Build and manage large-scale robot demonstration data pipelines: teleoperation data collection, action tokenization (e.g., FAST tokenizer), data augmentation, quality filtering, and dataset versioning • Define data collection strategies across robot platforms, collaborating with robot operators and data labeling teams to ensure dataset diversity and coverage • Integrate multi-modal sensory data (RGB, depth, proprioception, force/torque, tactile) into coherent training datasets Simulation & Sim-to-Real Transfer • Build and maintain simulation environments (Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, SAPIEN) for scalable policy training, including domain randomization, asset generation, and task definition • Address sim-to-real transfer challenges throu
