About the role
You will own the software that turns demonstrations into training data. Our models are only as good as what we feed them, and the path from a human operating a robot to a clean, aligned, training-ready episode has more failure modes than anyone expects. This is an infrastructure role at the center of how we learn new behaviors. When data is the bottleneck, you are the one who unblocks it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Strong systems engineering in real-time or robotics software. Python and C++
- Experience with multimodal sensor data: synchronization, timestamping, buffering, and the ways these break silently
- Experience with robotics middleware and the mechanics of getting data off a robot reliably
- Track record building tooling other engineers depend on daily
- Judgment about data quality, and the instinct to check whether the data is wrong before assuming the model is
- Comfort working close to hardware, in the lab, with a real robot
More about this role
Genki Robotics was founded by a team of pioneers in humanoid robotics committed to practical applications of physical AI. With decades of collective expertise, we are developing advanced robotic systems that combine intelligence, dexterity, and resilience to address critical challenges in public safety, urban maintenance, and other mission-driven environments. Our vision is to accelerate the integration of intelligent humanoids into society, augmenting human capability and shaping the future of work and service.
