We are seeking a founding technical lead to help build and shape our robotics organisation from the ground up. As a key member of our team, you will set the technical direction for robotics software and AI, write production code, and build functional demos on physical hardware from day one.
\nYour primary responsibilities will include defining and owning the technical architecture for humanoid robotics software, spanning perception, planning, control, and learned behaviours. You will also write production-quality code in Python and C++, design, train, evaluate, and deploy learning-based policies for manipulation and locomotion, and establish simulation infrastructure and validate behaviours in physics-based environments before deploying to hardware.
\nIn addition, you will instrument robots, analyse telemetry and failure data, and iterate quickly to improve robustness in real-world conditions. You will work with teleoperation and data collection pipelines to generate training data and close the sim-to-real gap, and identify and recruit the next engineers on the team.
\nTo succeed in this role, you will need a strong proficiency in Python and C++ for robotics and ML systems, a deep understanding of robotics fundamentals, and experience building and evaluating visuomotor or multimodal policies end to end, from data collection through deployment.
\nNice to have skills include experience with state-of-the-art bi-dexterous mobile hardware platforms, familiarity with hardware bring-up, sensor integration, or embedded systems, and background in SLAM, 3D perception, or sensor fusion.
