  • Collaborate closely with the research teams on results and be required to synthesize and interpret your findings
  • Designing new robotic tasks and benchmarks to evaluate model capabilities
  • Procuring materials and building lightweight physical benchmarks
  • Ensuring robots are properly configured, calibrated, and ready for rollouts and evaluations
  • Running structured evaluations and measuring real-world success rates
  • Analyzing results and closing feedback loops with ML researchers
  • Beta testing internal and third-party tools for teaching robots new skills
  • Writing clear documentation and playbooks so others can reproduce workflows
  • Identifying operational bottlenecks and improving system throughput end-to-end

Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with robot data collection, evaluation, or deployment
  • Conceptual understanding of the full modern ML training, fine-tuning, and inference life cycles
  • Comfortable running experiments and tracking real-world metrics across multiple model variants
  • Experience operating across software, hardware, and physical systems
