Robotics Engineer - Teleoperation focus

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Rapidly design and fabricate electromechanical teleoperation devices to support research experiments and new data collection techniques.
• Design the software tooling needed to collect data for VLA training at scale, including both the interface for teleoperators and backend data-processing pipeline
• Define what “good data” means as concrete, measurable metrics and implement an automated pipeline that ensures data quality.
• Build data-augmentation and data adaptation pipelines to convert human video and video collected with less robot hardware into usable training data.
• Contribute to publications and open-source releases.
• Partner with customers to take manipulation capabilities from prototype to deployed product.

Job requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Job or Research experience in machine learning, robotics, and computer vision.
• Production-ready Python. C++ and Rust are also a plus!
• Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
• MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Have strong fundamentals in rigid body kinematics, coordinate frame transforms, camera calibration, and robotic controls
• Demonstrated projects using robotic middleware platforms such as ROS2 or Zenoh, and comfort writing multithreaded, asynchronous code
• Hands-on experience with modern teleoperation methods for robot arms and mobile manipulators (including leader/follower setups, UMI, VR/AR, etc)
