Persona AI Inc

Persona AI is seeking a Staff Robotics ML/Data Engineer to build multimodal data infrastructure and processing systems that transform egocentric video, teleoperation recordings, and dense sensor streams into high-fidelity training data for humanoid robots. The role combines robotics data engineering, kinematic alignment, force and time-series analysis, video processing, and advanced augmentation.

Build the multimodal data infrastructure and preprocessing algorithms that transform egocentric video, teleoperation recordings, and dense sensor streams into high-quality training data for humanoid robots. This role combines robotics data engineering, 3D geometry, force-signal analysis, data augmentation, and simulation-based validation.

Join Persona AI as a robotics software engineering intern developing dexterous manipulation algorithms for humanoid robots. You’ll work across simulation, control, perception, motion planning, and real-world robot testing alongside experienced engineers.

Build the autonomy and behavior-coordination stack for Persona AI’s humanoid robots operating in demanding industrial environments. You’ll combine world models, classical control, learned policies, simulation, and real-world deployment to create safe and adaptable robot behaviors.

Build the low-latency software that connects humanoid robots with remote operators, spanning hardware interfaces, networking, controls, streaming, and XR feedback. This role offers the chance to define teleoperation systems for robots working in demanding industrial environments.

Own the developer infrastructure that takes Persona AI’s mixed-language robotics code from laptop to deployed humanoid robot. This hands-on platform role spans CI, reproducible builds, embedded Linux delivery, fleet rollout, observability, and physical lab and site infrastructure.

Own the foundational software stack powering Persona AI’s humanoid robots, from deterministic real-time control and hardware abstraction to APIs, messaging, and diagnostics. Set the platform’s technical direction while mentoring engineers building reliable systems for demanding industrial environments.

Build the world-modeling layer for Persona AI’s humanoid robot autonomy stack by curating industrial video data, fine-tuning models, and developing synthetic-data and evaluation pipelines. This paid Houston-based internship offers hands-on work across robotics, machine learning, and embodied AI.
