Job Description
Job Title: Member of Technical Staff (Robotics Lab)
Job Type: Full-time
Location: Remote
Job Summary:
Join us to help define the future of robotics data. As a Robotics Researcher, you’ll work at the forefront of R&D—shaping how embodied data is collected, structured, and used for robot learning and perception.
What You’ll Do:
- Define and standardize robotics data formats, schemas, and benchmarks.
- Design innovative data collection methods (human demos, teleop, sensors).
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align on model training data.
- Evaluate datasets for diversity, scalability, and impact.
- Prototype experiments and tools for efficient data gathering.
- Stay updated on leading labs (Tesla, Figure, 1X) and integrate best practices.
What You Bring:
- 2–5+ years in robotics R&D, data engineering, or applied research.
- Strong grasp of robotics data pipelines and multimodal schemas (RGB-D, IMU, pose, language).
- Experience in robot perception, control, or data-driven learning.
- Excellent communicator with cross-disciplinary collaboration skills.
- Degree in Robotics, CS, EE, or related field.
Bonus Points:
- Experience at top robotics or AI companies.
- Familiarity with embodied AI datasets or imitation learning pipelines.
- Hands-on sensor prototyping experience.
Regional Hiring Notes
This role is being hired in parallel across multiple regions due to coverage needs, compliance requirements, and time-zone alignment. Responsibilities and expectations are identical; employment terms vary by region.
