You need someone who can both build MuJoCo environments and stop policies from exploiting simulation quirks so they actually transfer to hardware. The core challenge is usually reward shaping and contact dynamics hiding flaws until late in training. I recently built a MuJoCo quadruped locomotion environment where I redesigned observation and action spaces, reworked rewards to avoid bang bang behaviors, and applied domain randomization. The policy trained with PPO transferred to a physical prototype with minimal retuning. My approach would be practical and test driven: ✅ audit existing MJCF and baseline training runs to find failure modes ✅ refine obs action and reward iteratively with short experiments ✅ add targeted domain randomization and system id parameters ✅ run stability and robustness evaluations and document results I use Python with MuJoCo and MJCF, PyTorch training pipelines, and implementations of PPO SAC TD3. If you have existing code or MJCF models please share repo access so I can prepare a one page plan and rough estimate. Which robot or environment should I review first?

This is the exact kind of deep-tech ML/robotics work I’ve been involved in — MuJoCo environment engineering, RL pipeline optimization, reward shaping, and sim-to-real robustness tuning for manipulation and locomotion tasks. I’ve worked with PPO/SAC/TD3 stacks using PyTorch and Gymnasium-style environments, including contact dynamics debugging, actuator tuning, domain randomization, and long-horizon policy stabilization. One thing many teams underestimate is how much unstable reward geometry and observation leakage quietly destroy transferability later — I spend a lot of time fixing that early. I’m comfortable owning both the simulation layer and the training infrastructure independently in remote research-style environments. Availability: 15–30 hrs/week Rate: $120/hr Happy to discuss current MuJoCo stack, task complexity, and training bottlenecks in detail.
