## About the role

We're looking for a senior or staff-level Research Engineer or ML Systems Engineer to make our robot- learning pipeline reliable, reproducible, and measurable from end to end. You will own the supported path from robot data collection through dataset generation, model training,

## What they're looking for

- • A strong track record owning, integrating, or debugging complex ML, robotics, autonomy, or other sensor-rich systems across multiple layers
- • Excellent software engineering skills, including strong Python, maintainable system design, automated testing, CI, code review, and production-quality debugging practices
- • Hands-on experience with PyTorch or a comparable ML framework. You should be able to train or fine-tune models, inspect datasets and batches, interpret losses and outputs, load checkpoints, and debug inference behavior
- • Experience building or operating ML workflows that span data processing, training, evaluation, and deployment - not only one isolated part of the stack
- • Strong systems-debugging ability. You can take an ambiguous report such as "robot performance dropped" and turn it into a structured investigation with controlled experiments, measurements, and a defensible root cause
- • Familiarity with data-pipeline correctness, including schemas, versioning, temporal data, migrations, provenance, validation, and reproducibility
