About the role

  • The Atlas team at Boston Dynamics is pushing the limits of robotic mobility and manipulation.
  • This role combines deep technical research with hands-on experimentation on one of the most advanced humanoid platforms in the world.
  • The base pay range for this position is between $150,284.34- $200,000.85.

Responsibilities

  • As a Teleoperation Research Scientist, you will design and implement cutting-edge teleoperation and human-robot interaction systems that enable humanoid robots to execute complex, coordinated tasks in real-world environments.
  • Integrate and optimize hardware and software components for low-latency, high-bandwidth communication and control.
  • Support integration of teleoperation and learned policies into end-to-end proof-of-concept demonstrations.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of industry experience or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field.
  • Experience with real-time control, sensing, and communication systems in robotics.
  • Proficiency in Python and/or C++

Nice to have

  • PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field.
  • Prior experience with VR/AR-based teleoperation systems, haptics, and force-feedback systems.
  • Experience with robot hardware and real-world robot deployments
  • Experience with user studies and quantitative evaluation of human-robot systems.
  • This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting.

Compensation

  • The base pay range for this position is between $150,284.34- $200,000.85.

Benefits

  • Implement and evaluate novel teleoperation interfaces (e.g., VR, motion capture, wearable devices, or mixed reality systems) to collect high-quality manipulation and locomotion demonstrations for learning-based control.
