Robotics Researcher for AI Data Training

Define how embodied robotics data is collected, structured, and used to train robot learning and perception systems. This role sits on the core robotics team, driving robotics data schema design, data collection methods, and benchmarks that scale model training for embodied AI.

• Define and standardize robotics data formats, schemas, and benchmarks for embodied data.
• Design and iterate on data collection methods, including human demonstrations, teleoperation, and multi-sensor captures.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align data design with model training needs and evaluation goals.
• Evaluate datasets for diversity, scalability, and expected impact on downstream robot learning tasks.
• Prototype experiments, tooling, and processes to make data gathering more efficient and reliable.
• Track practices and research from leading robotics labs and integrate applicable best practices into data pipelines.

• 2 to 5+ years of experience in robotics R&D, data engineering, or applied research roles.
• Strong understanding of robotics data pipelines and multimodal schemas, including RGB-D, IMU, pose, and language-aligned data.
• Experience in robot perception, control, or data-driven learning workflows.
• Effective communicator with demonstrated cross-disciplinary collaboration skills.
• Bachelor''s or higher degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Required skills highlighted in the original posting: robotics data, robot perception, schema design, and robotics R&D.

Bonus qualifications

• Experience at leading robotics or AI companies.
• Familiarity with embodied AI datasets or imitation learning pipelines.
• Hands-on experience prototyping sensors and data capture hardware.

• Employment type: Full-time.
• Location: Remote.

• Displayed total compensation range: $400, 000 - $1, 500, 000 per year.
• National base salary range notice: $240, 000 - $320, 000 USD per year.
