ByteDance is hiring for about a dozen robotics roles through its Seed AI research unit, with most openings based in Beijing, according to job postings published over the past few months.

The hiring expands the company’s work on embodied AI, which links software models to physical machines.

The opening span hardware and software roles, including positions focused on data collection and model-training system for robotics.

The hiring suggests ByteDance is moving its robotics work from foundational research toward building physical products.

The push comes as other Chinese internet companies shift from chatbot development to embodied AI and robotics.

It also aligns with outside analyses that describe embodied AI as a strategic direction in China’s effort to upgrade its robotics industry.
