About the role

  • Stretch is Boston Dynamics' mobile manipulation robot built to handle multiple applications in warehouse environments.
  • As a member of the Stretch Manipulation team, you will be a key contributor to tackling some of the most challenging technical problems in robotics.
  • Your role will focus on the hands-on implementation of data processing and model evaluation pipelines, and model development and deployment in real-world settings.

Responsibilities

  • You recognize the value and necessity of ensuring data pipelines, evaluation frameworks, etc. scale as our business and deployed robot fleet grows: you're excited to collaborate closely with infrastructure engineers to build and iterate on AI/ML development systems, spanning simulation, data collection, model training, validation, and deployment on real robots.
  • You're excited to collaborate with members of the manipulation team (and adjacent teams) to integrate learned components into the broader autonomy stack.
  • Experience building and leverage high-fidelity simulation environments (e.g., Isaac Sim, MuJoCo) or augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR).

Requirements

  • Proficiency with modern ML frameworks/ecosystem (e.g., PyTorch, Jax, TensorFlow, RLlib, ONNX, inference servers like NVIDIA Triton).
  • experience with diffusion policy, ACT, or other modern BC architectures.
  • You have a strong desire and ability to mentor and up-skill other engineers (for more senior applicants).

Compensation

  • The base pay range for this position is between $192,000 to $255,000 annually.

Benefits

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field; additional industry experience is a plus.
  • Familiarity with modern model architectures and learning techniques and their applications/tradeoffs.

Company info

  • We are seeking a technically talented software engineer with a background in AI/ML to help advance Stretch's manipulation capabilities through the application of data-driven techniques.
  • Success in this position requires a highly collaborative mindset, ambitious ideas, and rapid and meticulous execution within a dynamic, fast-paced team.
