About The Position

We are seeking to hire software engineers who are excited about research for robot manipulation with the goal of developing manipulation systems at human-level performance. Our strategy focuses on a real2sim2real pipeline that learns from large scale human videos and leverage simulation and reinforcement learning to bridge the human-to-robot embodiment gap.

Requirements

• 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
• 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

Nice To Haves

• 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• Experience with robotic manipulation
• Experience/knowledge developing RL for manipulation
• Experience with extracting human manipulation from large scale video and/or mocap data

Responsibilities

• Learning manipulation: Design and implement robot learning algorithms for manipulation
• Leverage vision models to extract 3D hand-object manipulation information from real-world situations
• Develop large-scale real2sim2real pipeline for manipulation
• Multimodal Sensor Fusion: Integrate tactile sensing, proprioception and vision into the learning pipeline
