Robotics Engineer

About the role

You'll bring up commercial robot platforms — humanoids, arms, mobile bases — wire up the sensors and data pipelines our world models need, and run the experiments that tell us whether the model actually works in the real world. You'll be the bridge between research and the physical world, keeping a fleet of off-the-shelf robots running and debugging failures across hardware, drivers, and integration code.

Responsibilities

• Bring up and operate off-the-shelf robot platforms (humanoids, manipulators, mobile bases) for model evaluation and data collection.
• Integrate cameras, depth sensors, IMUs, and other sensors for world-model rollouts and policy evaluation.
• Own the data pipeline from robot to training: logging, synchronization, calibration, and replay.
• Build the test rigs and benchmarks that show whether the model is improving over time.
• Keep the fleet running, debugging failures across hardware, drivers, and integration code.
• Translate "what the model needs" into "what the robot does."

Requirements

• A strong systems-integration background: robots, drivers, sensors, real-time control.
• Hands-on with ROS/ROS2 (or equivalent), Python, and Linux at the systems level.
• Comfort debugging across the stack, from kernel-level driver issues to ML pipeline bugs.
• A track record standing up complex robot setups and keeping them running.

Nice to have

• Experience with humanoids or manipulators from major vendors (Unitree, Figure, 1X, Agility, Franka).
• Prior work in a research lab where the robot was a means to an end, not the end itself.

Qualifications

• PhD or MS in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of relevant experience in robotics, machine learning, or related fields.
• Experience with ROS/ROS2 (or equivalent), Python, and Linux at the systems level.
• Strong debugging skills across the stack, from kernel-level driver issues to ML pipeline bugs.
• Experience standing up complex robot setups and keeping them running.
