## About the role

As Luma's founding Robotics Engineer, you'll bring up commercial robot platforms — humanoids, arms, mobile bases — wire up the sensors and data pipelines our world models need, and run the experiments that tell us whether the model actually works in the real world. We don't build robots here; we test models on them.

## What they're looking for

- A strong systems-integration background: robots, drivers, sensors, real-time control
- Hands-on with ROS/ROS2 (or equivalent), Python, and Linux at the systems level
- Comfort debugging across the stack, from kernel-level driver issues to ML pipeline bugs
- A track record standing up complex robot setups and keeping them running
