A dual-arm robot built for physical AI. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We are looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to design, test, and implement key software components for our humanoid arms, data collection, AI. This role is ideal for an engineer excited about working across the full product lifecycle from whiteboard sketches and prototypes to manufacturing and production. We are taking on a problem that requires extreme ownership and urgency. If you’re looking for a 9-5 this role is not for you.
What they're looking for
- Building / using IK solvers
- Building / modifying / deploying the latest robotic VLA model research (fine-tuning VLMs, building an online RL workflow, etc.)
- Building really fast streaming / WebRTC
- Building VR apps
