About the role

Everyone on the team works hands-on with hardware and sees their work reach customers.

What they're looking for

  • Built data collection, teleoperation, sensor recording, or human-in-the-loop tooling used on real robots or autonomous systems, and validated it on hardware
  • Strong Python skills and software engineering fundamentals, including APIs, tests, versioned schemas, and debugging data pipelines
  • Experience with synchronized video, robot state, actions, or other multimodal time-series data
  • Working knowledge of coordinate frames, sensor calibration, data provenance, and how collection errors show up in trained models
  • Experience building tools for other people, watching them fail in real use, and simplifying without hiding data-quality problems
  • The ability to turn a task description into an executable collection workflow together with learning, hardware, and operations colleagues
