About the job

We are seeking to hire research engineers for robot dexterous manipulation with the goal of developing dexterous manipulation systems at human-level performance. Our strategy focuses on a real2sim2real pipeline that learns from large scale human videos and leverage simulation and reinforcement learning to bridge the human-to-robot embodiment gap.

Responsibilities

Learning dexterous manipulation: Design and implement robot learning algorithms for manipulation

Leverage vision models to extract 3D hand-object manipulation information from real-world situations

Develop large-scale real2sim2real pipeline for dexterous manipulation

Multimodal Sensor Fusion: Integrate tactile sensing, proprioception and vision into the learning pipeline

Qualifications

Minimum

5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience

5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience

5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience

Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team

Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

Preferred

5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience

Experience with robotic manipulation

Experience/knowledge developing RL for manipulation

Experience with extracting human manipulation from large scale video and/or mocap data
