Robotics Consultant – Whole-Body Teleoperation & Control

Integrated Computer Solutions • Wilmington, MA

13d • Hybrid

About The Position

We are seeking an expert Robotics Consultant for a 6-month engagement to pioneer our Whole-Body Teleoperation framework. Working alongside our core autonomy team, you will bridge the gap between human intent and high-DOF robotic execution. You will be responsible for designing advanced whole-body controllers, developing robust manipulation pipelines, and setting up the simulation-to-real (Sim2Real) infrastructure required to bring a humanoid or high-DOF robot to life.

Requirements

• Current PhD student or recent PhD graduate/Postdoc in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.
• A strong publication history (e.g., ICRA, IROS, RSS, ToR) directly focused on whole-body manipulation, whole-body control, or teleoperation for humanoids or quadrupeds/manipulators.
• Proficient in setting up complex simulation environments (e.g., Isaac Sim/Gym, MuJoCo, Drake) for dynamic robotic tasks.
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++ within a Linux development ecosystem.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with VR-based teleoperation interfaces, haptic feedback devices, or exoskeleton-based human tracking.
• Direct experience with real-time Linux environments (PREEMPT_RT) and low-level actuator communication loops.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement intuitive, low-latency whole-body teleoperation pipelines for high-DOF robotic systems.
• Develop and optimize multi-objective whole-body controllers that balance manipulation accuracy, balance, and dynamic stability.
• Stand up and refine reinforcement learning (RL) pipelines in physics-based simulators, ensuring policies successfully transfer to physical hardware without degradation.
• Deploy, test, and debug control policies on physical platforms, rapidly iterating on live teleoperation performance.
