About the role
- We're focused on an ambitious goal to make generalized robots broadly accessible, enabling households to take back quality time.
- If you are ready to apply your skills to the forefront of robotics innovation, we'd love to hear from you.
- We're training state-of-the-art AI models that leverage our large-scale, high-quality, real-world data collection system.
Responsibilities
- Leverage large-scale in-the-wild data collection to develop generalizable robot behaviors
- Own the end-to-end loop from task definition and data curation to model training, evaluation, and on-robot deployment
- Collaborate closely with a full-stack robotics team to develop a consumer personal robot
- Communicates clearly and collaborates effectively, thriving in fast-moving, cross-functional teams
Nice to have
- Familiarity with classical robotics fundamentals (e.g. controls, planning, state estimation)
- Comfortable profiling and optimizing for latency, memory, and compute on edge devices
- Experience with large-scale model training pipelines (LLM/VLM/VLA)
- Even if you don't meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply.
- Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria - we don't want that to be the reason we miss out on great talent.
Skills
- What to Expect
Benefits
- Design and develop state-of-the-art robot learning algorithms for manipulation and controls
- 3+ years (or equivalent) working on machine learning for robotics, controls, or perception
- Proficiency with Python and any deep learning framework (PyTorch preferred)
- Hands-on experience with robot learning for real-world tasks, including offline/online training and evaluation
- Implement tooling for visualization, debugging, and evaluation of data and learning pipelines
