About the role
Robotics Engineer to own and improve teleoperation systems, serving as the first contact for teleop data-blocking issues and integrating the latest teleop hardware and software to enable scalable human-to-robot teaching and data collection.
Responsibilities
- Triage and fix teleop issues that block data collection, from tracking and retargeting to latency and data recording.
- Build tools and monitoring that catch teleop failures before they cost collection time.
- Evaluate and integrate new teleop hardware and software, including VR headsets, glove and body trackers, and retargeting methods.
- Benchmark robot end-effectors for teleoperation performance and data quality.
- Work with operators to make teleop faster, more reliable, and easier to use.
Qualifications
- BS, MS or higher degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Proficiency in Python and C++.
- Experience developing or debugging software on real robots.
- Experience with teleoperation, VR/AR (e.g., OpenXR, Unity), or motion capture systems.
- Experience with video streaming systems (e.g., GStreamer) and basic computer vision principles.
- Familiarity with robot kinematics, inverse kinematics, and motion retargeting.
- Experience with Linux, networking, and ROS/ROS2 or similar robotics middleware.
- Experience with dexterous hands, humanoids, or other high-DoF robots is a plus.
