Member of Technical Staff – Robotics Manipulation

Responsibilities

• Design and implement robotic manipulation systems.
• Deploy and operate robotic systems on real-world hardware.
• Debug, iterate, and improve real-world robotic behavior in production environments.
• Collaborate closely with software and infrastructure teams to deliver robust, integrated systems.

Preferred

• Control: real-time control loops, controller arbitration, visual servoing
• Open-source contributions to robotics or robot-learning projects
• Proficiency in Rust, Python, C++

About This Role

We’re looking for full-stack roboticists to own either manipulation or navigation systems end to end. These roles require strong theoretical grounding combined with real-world deployment experience. You’ll be working on robotic arms, mobile robots, and/or legged systems, helping take advanced robotics capabilities from lab-quality to production-ready.

Job Requirements

• 3+ years in robot manipulation, with work deployed on physical arms
• Strong Python; experience writing production code with tests and code review
• Solid robotics math: SE(3), rigid-body transforms, Jacobians, forward/inverse kinematics
• Motion planning experience (sampling-based planners, collision checking, trajectory generation)
• Learning: trained ACT, Diffusion Policy, or VLAs (pi-0, OpenVLA, GR00T) with PyTorch; LeRobot or similar data pipelines
• Hands-on hardware debugging: robot drivers, cameras, grippers, calibration
• 3D perception basics: point clouds, depth cameras, camera-robot calibration
• Rigorous testing mindset: designs repeatable experiments and reports success rates
• Tools: Drake, Pinocchio, MuJoCo or Isaac Sim, Meshcat
