The posting

About the role

We are looking for an engineer to own the path from data collection to a working robot, together with the interface someone can use to drive it. You will integrate a robot learning stack — LeRobot, DAgger, RL, ACT/diffusion policies, VLAs — into our distributed system, and own customer-facing manipulation capabilities end to end: choosing the approach, making the robot actually do the task, and being there when it is demoed.

This role is for library and framework integrators rather than from-scratch builders. We value engineers who pick the right off-the-shelf piece and integrate it cleanly. The work spans ML pipelines on one side, real product UI on the other, and a distributed system in between. Show and tell is part of the job, and we hire people who naturally build toward something visible.

You will join a fast-growing robotics and AI team building solutions to real-world problems.

What you'll do

  • Own manipulation capabilities end to end: define the task, design the data collection, train and evaluate the policy, get it running on the robot, and demo it live to customers.
  • Integrate robot learning libraries (LeRobot, DAgger, RL, ACT/diffusion policies, VLAs, NVIDIA Isaac) into our training and deployment pipelines.
  • Debug real manipulation failures — grasp failures, calibration drift, distribution shift between collection and deployment — and decide whether the fix is more data, a different policy, or a change to the setup.
  • Wire ML artifacts and tooling (W&B, HF Hub, GCS) into the systems that actually run on robots.
  • Build and improve the teleoperation and data-collection interfaces that make good demonstration data possible.
  • Use simulation when it speeds things up and real robots when it does not.

What you bring

- A track record of integrating complex libraries and frameworks into working systems, including an understanding of their failure modes rather than only their happy path.

- Experience integrating ML libraries into real software systems (research code into something closer to production).

- Solid frontend skills, ideally React with TypeScript. You can ship a usable interface.

- A taste for distributed systems, and an understanding that the model is one component among many.

- A show-and-tell instinct. You build to demo rather than to spec.

Bonus Points

- At least two years at a robotics, IoT, or in-field-devices company. We would like at least one person on the team to have this background.

- Experience with ROS2.

- Hands-on experience with LeRobot, DAgger, or RL.

- Experience with WebRTC, GStreamer, or other real-time, low-latency systems.

- Experience with WebXR or immersive teleoperation interfaces.

- Experience with robot simulation (Isaac, MuJoCo, or similar).

- Customer-facing experience in demos, on-site integration, or technical pre-sales.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
