The Role

Join us in shaping the future of robotics data. As a Robotics Researcher, you’ll work at the intersection of robotics, embodied AI, and data—researching and designing the datasets, collection methods, and evaluation frameworks that power next-generation robot learning and perception systems.

You’ll collaborate with leading AI and robotics teams to translate frontier research challenges into high-quality, scalable data solutions for real-world physical AI.

What You’ll Do:

1. Research the data needs of frontier robotics, world models, and physical AI systems.
2. Design new datasets and collection methods across egocentric video, teleop, UMI, robot trajectories, sensors, and simulation.
3. Define data schemas, annotations, ground truth, and evaluations for areas like manipulation, navigation, spatial reasoning, and physical understanding.
4. Run experiments to understand what data and structure most improve model performance.
5. Work with leading AI and robotics labs to turn research needs into scalable data pipelines and products.
6. Stay current on frontier research and use it to shape the company's robotics data strategy.

What You Bring

1. 2–5+ years in robotics, computer vision, multimodal learning, embodied AI, or applied ML research.
2. Strong understanding of robotics/physical AI and multimodal data.
3. Ability to translate research problems into concrete datasets, experiments, and specifications.
4. Strong technical communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
5. Degree in Robotics, CS, EE, ML, or related field, or equivalent experience.

Bonus Points

1. Experience working at a leading robotics, AI, or autonomous systems company or research lab.
2. Hands-on experience with embodied AI datasets, imitation learning, teleoperation, or robot learning pipelines.
3. Experience designing or working with multimodal robotics datasets, including video, sensor, trajectory, or simulation data.
4. Hands-on experience with robotics hardware, sensor integration, or rapid prototyping.
5. Familiarity with data collection and evaluation for manipulation, navigation, spatial reasoning, or world models.
