Responsibilities
- Lead and own the onboard AI, data collection, teleoperation, and on-robot reinforcement learning systems powering the embodied AI data flywheel.
- Set technical direction and architecture for running, evaluating, and improving learned models on real robots.
- Deliver systems end-to-end on physical robots, from bring-up through reliable real-time operation in industrial environments.
- Own on-robot deployment and closed-loop evaluation of policies.
- Partner with robotics software and ML research teams to align interfaces and priorities.
- Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar for embodied systems work.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, robotics, electrical engineering, or a related field with significant relevant experience, or a PhD.
- Track record of leading complex robotic or embodied systems end-to-end and setting technical direction for other engineers.
- Strong proficiency in C++ and Python, with solid systems programming and real-time or performance-critical engineering skills.
- Hands-on experience with ROS/ROS2 and robot middleware, including real-time integration of sensing, control, and compute.
- Experience integrating and deploying ML models or policies into real-time robotic or autonomous systems, with emphasis on system ownership and building rather than model training or research.
- Bonus experience with teleoperation and data-collection systems such as VR, UR, GELLO, or UMI; on-robot reinforcement learning; robot learning policies such as VLA, imitation learning, or behavior cloning; manipulation stacks; whole-body control interfaces; or real-time middleware tuning.
Benefits
- Competitive stock options and equity programs.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance, plus a 401(k) plan.
- Visa sponsorship and green card support for qualified candidates.
- Lunches and dinners, a fully stocked kitchen, and regular team-building events.
- Full-time U.S. position requiring five days per week of in-office collaboration.
