About the job

Own the end-to-end process of moving robotics policies between simulation and physical hardware, including simulation, robot platforms, teleoperation, and reliable software and data infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Integrate and maintain physics simulators, robot platforms, drivers, calibration pipelines, and data-recording infrastructure.
  • Build and operate teleoperation systems for collecting demonstrations.
  • Deploy and evaluate policies on hardware, troubleshoot sim-to-real gaps, and improve integration with models and environments.

What they ask for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong software engineering skills and working proficiency in Python; comfort with C++ for real-time and driver-level work.
  • Hands-on experience with robotics simulation pipelines and bringing up and operating real robot hardware, including end-effector integration, calibration, and safety procedures.
  • Working knowledge of ROS/ROS 2 and experience recording and validating synchronized robot trajectory data.

Nice to have

  • Experience designing and operating teleoperation systems or familiarity with sim-to-real transfer techniques.
  • Familiarity with containerization, motion planning, inverse kinematics, classical control, GPU debugging, or computer vision.

Pay

$175,000 - $250,000 USD (base salary)

Tools

Python, C++, ROS/ROS 2, URDFs, GPU drivers, RGB-D cameras, force/torque sensors, IMUs

AI focus
