About the role

  • We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
  • This role sits at the intersection of robotics, data collection, and research - your work directly determines the diversity and quality of the demonstrations our models train on.

Responsibilities

  • Develop data quality metrics, curation pipelines, and filtering strategies specific to robotic interaction data
  • Build tooling for researchers to explore, annotate, and iterate on robotic datasets
  • Collaborate with pre-training and post-training teams to translate model data needs into concrete collection strategies
  • Strong software engineering skills for building reliable data collection and processing systems
  • We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots.
  • Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience with robotic data collection, teleoperation systems, or demonstration frameworks

Nice to have

  • Ability to reason across hardware, pipelines, and model performance
  • Experience working with real robotic hardware in a research or industrial setting
  • Experience with sim-to-real transfer and synthetic data generation for robotics
  • Familiarity with cross-embodiment datasets (e.g., Open X-Embodiment, DROID)
  • Experience with VR teleoperation, motion capture, or dexterous demonstration collection
  • PhD or strong research background in robotics or ML
  • The data you collect and curate is the direct upstream dependency for all model quality
  • Nice to Have (But Not Required)

Benefits

  • Design and implement teleoperation and demonstration collection systems for high-quality robot learning data
  • Understanding of what makes robot learning data useful: diversity, coverage, temporal quality, and action fidelity
  • We're looking for a Research Scientist or Research Engineer to own the strategy and systems for collecting, curating, and scaling high-quality robot learning data.
