Robotics Engineer, Teleoperation

The role

You will own teleop systems to make them more reliable and capable. You will triage issues, build monitoring tools, and integrate new hardware and software to support data collection.

What you will do

• Triage and fix teleop issues that block data collection
• Build tools and monitoring to catch teleop failures
• Evaluate and integrate new teleop hardware and software
• Benchmark robot end-effectors for performance and data quality
• Work with operators to make teleop faster, more reliable, and easier to use

Required qualifications

• 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

Nice to have

• BS, MS or higher degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Experience with dexterous hands, humanoids, or other high-DoF robots
