About Scaled Foundations

General Robotics is building general-purpose intelligence for every robot in any form, across any real-world scenarios. True generalist robots need more than just a foundation model. Backed by Khosla Ventures.

About the role

We're hiring Robotics Engineers to create a Data-Collection Engine that can power our model training and deployment. You will own both the software and hardware of our teleoperation pipeline, creating large quantities of high-quality data across multiple robot modalities (arms and mobile robots) to be used by our research and deployment teams. You will collaborate with our team of teleoperators to ensure that their experience is intuitive and ergonomic, thereby increasing data quality and throughput.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Job or Research experience in machine learning, robotics, and computer vision
  • Production-ready Python. C++ and Rust are also a plus!
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
  • MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
  • Have strong fundamentals in rigid body kinematics, coordinate frame transforms, camera calibration, and robotic controls

Rapidly design and fabricate electromechanical teleoperation devices to support research experiments and new data collection techniques.

Design the software tooling needed to collect data for VLA training at scale, including both the interface for teleoperators and backend data-processing pipeline

Define what “good data” means as concrete, measurable metrics and implement an automated pipeline that ensures data quality.

Build data-augmentation and data adaptation pipelines to convert human video and video collected with less robot hardware into usable training data.

Contribute to publications and open-source releases.

Partner with customers to take manipulation capabilities from...
