This recruitment move shows that ByteDance's layout in embodied intelligence is not just talk, but rather it has precisely focused on the development of humanoid embodied robots.

According to the job posting, the core responsibilities of this position include:

  • Leading the development of operational algorithms for humanoid embodied robots;

  • Participating in pre-training and deployment of embodied large models;

  • Driving the system integration and deployment of algorithms on hardware.

This clearly outlines ByteDance's intention to create an embodied intelligent entity that integrates advanced large models and possesses complex operational capabilities, competing with global tech giants in the next generation of AI hardware field.

The salary range of 95K-120K per month offered for this position far exceeds the industry average, highlighting ByteDance's determination to secure top talent, and also indirectly confirming the scarcity of core technical talents in the humanoid robot field.

The requirements for this position are very high, requiring a master's or doctoral degree in computer science, automation, artificial intelligence, or related fields.

Industry analysis suggests that ByteDance's recent heavy recruitment of embodied intelligence experts through the Volcano Engine platform marks its official entry into the global humanoid robot development competition led by companies like Tesla and OpenAI, and it has already regarded this field as a strategic high ground for the future.
