If you have any robotics experience, my employer ( https://tri.global 
we're desperately hiring a research engineer role, there's AI going on but barely any LLM, humanely sourced data, and it's not commercial hyperscale glurge.
If you don't mind a bit more AI in the company mission, our recent "too commercial for a research lab" spinoff is also hiring https://ats.rippling.com/walden-robotics/jobs ; again, it's not LLM glurge sort of AI, but it is supporting the gradient descent of tensors. Their job descriptions are less "already know about robotics" I think but also as a new startup their pants are on fire all the time.
