Machine LearningRoboticsHardware DesignAR/VRResearch
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.
