Yandex Practicum is an online education service where you can truly master an in-demand digital profession and find stable employment. Our technologies and team of experts help you see things through to the end.
The business development team creates educational products for universities, B2B clients, and colleges: professional development programs, corporate courses, and other learning formats for partners.
We are currently launching a new course on Robotics and are looking for a mentor who will support university instructors during their training.
What a mentor does:
- supports university instructors in the learning chat;
- answers questions about course materials;
- helps to understand complex topics;
- provides guidance on assignments, tools, and practical cases;
- maintains clear and constructive communication in the chat;
- regularly checks messages - at least twice a day;
- responds to questions within 24 hours.
What we expect from you:
- You are confident working with Python, understand the basic principles of machine learning, and can troubleshoot technical problems that arise during model training: unstable training, NaN, simulation environment errors, and other typical failures.
- You have experience with Linux, Git, and Docker, as well as with PyTorch and NumPy libraries. You understand how a model training cycle works, what supervised learning, loss function, and overfitting are, and how to deal with them in practice.
- You are familiar with reinforcement learning: you understand what an agent, environment, policy, and reward are. You also understand the principles of behavior cloning and how learning from demonstrations is applied in Robotics and Physical AI tasks.
- You have a basic understanding of the architecture of robotics and Physical AI systems: simulations, data pipelines, training, and inference. You have experience working with simulators, such as MuJoCo or similar, and you understand the principles of sim-to-real and domain randomization.
What we offer:
- We offer remote collaboration: main interaction will be via chat, without regular calls.
- Opportunity to experiment and realize your potential: we trust your experience and don't waste each other's time and energy on micromanagement.
- Smooth onboarding: we will introduce you to the support tools, work format, and the team that will help you quickly get into the process.
- Portfolio enhancement: we issue certificates of socially useful activity to our experts.
- Networking, support, and inspiration from a community of experts from various fields.
- Opportunity to participate in Yandex Practicum conferences, events, and podcasts.
