About the job
Designs, prototypes, and validates robotics data-collection hardware and software pipelines that convert sensor streams into training-ready datasets.
What you'll do
- Design and prototype data-collection rigs, interfaces, and assemblies; integrate and evaluate off-the-shelf components.
- Build recording and data-handling scripts for multi-camera capture, synchronization, and sensor fusion using HDF5 and LeRobot formats.
- Support robot data-collection and model-evaluation sessions; assemble, test, and document prototypes and setups.
What they ask for
- Currently enrolled in or completed a Master's or PhD in Robotics, ECE, ME, CS, or a related field.
- Proficient in Python; comfortable with Linux and version control.
- Hands-on experience with at least one of ROS/ROS2, sensor integration, CAD (OpenSCAD/Onshape/SolidWorks), or 3D printing.
- Able to work on-site in Palo Alto or Redmond Lab.
Nice to have
- Experience with imitation learning or robot-learning data pipelines (LeRobot, RLDS, HDF5); familiarity with depth cameras, SLAM, or multi-camera calibration.
- Teleoperation, motion-capture, or VR/AR input experience; soldering, electronics prototyping, or mechanical fabrication.
