About the role
- As a Robotics Evaluation Engineer at Maven Robotics, you will build the systems that measure, diagnose, and improve robot policy performance across simulation and real robots. You will own the core evaluation infrastructure that enables our AI team to rigorously compare models, understand failure modes, measure generalization and reliability, and make better decisions about data, training, and deployment.
- You will work closely with robot learning researchers and engineers across simulation, perception, controls, data, and infrastructure to define task success, build reproducible evaluation frameworks, automate testing, and develop the tools needed to understand why robot policies succeed or fail.
- As a Robotics Evaluation Engineer at Maven Robotics, you will build the systems that measure, diagnose, and improve robot policy performance across simulation and real robots.
Responsibilities
- Build automated systems for comparing models, detecting regressions, running large-scale evaluations, and generating clear performance reports
- Develop simulation environments, task scenarios, and procedural variations used for policy evaluation
- Build reproducible real-robot evaluation workflows that minimize manual supervision and produce statistically meaningful results
- Build tools for replaying, visualizing, and diagnosing policy failures across simulation and physical robots
- Significant experience building robotics evaluation, simulation, testing, or benchmarking systems.
Requirements
- Experience with robotics simulation platforms such as Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or similar systems
- Experience evaluating learned robotic policies in simulation and on physical robots
- Experience designing reproducible experiments, metrics, benchmarks, and failure-analysis workflows
- Strong understanding of robotics systems and the ability to debug issues across software, models, sensors, controls, and hardware
Nice to have
- Familiarity with sim-to-real transfer, domain randomization, sensor modeling, and system identification
- Experience importing and configuring simulation assets, including robot models, objects, joints, collisions, inertial, materials, and sensors
- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, continuous integration for robotics, or automated robot test cells
Benefits
- Own the architecture, implementation, and evolution of Maven's robot learning evaluation framework across simulation and real robots
- Work closely with robot learning researchers to identify whether failures originate from the model, data, perception, controls, calibration, simulation, hardware, or long-horizon execution
