Job description
Expand human ambition in the physical world.
Critical infrastructure is constrained by labor shortages, hazardous working conditions, and operational complexity. Watney builds and deploys autonomous robotic systems that increase the speed and capacity of buildout, starting with data centers.
Job responsibilities
- Own the Perception Data Engine: Architect and optimize scalable off-robot data pipelines capable of ingesting, parsing, and managing petabyte-scale video and sensor streams for auto-annotation and localization tasks.
- Build Continuous Evaluation Infrastructure: Design and implement deterministic simulation, regression testing, and evaluation loops to rigorously benchmark perception performance before edge deployment.
- Scale Annotation & Feature Extraction: Develop high-throughput pipelines that orchestrate multimodal data fusion, automated labeling, and feature extraction to constantly mine high-signal training examples from the…
- Drive Quality Metrics & Monitoring: Establish end-to-end telemetry systems and observability frameworks to track model regression, data drift, and perception accuracy across live operational environments.
