TL;DR
Research Engineer / Scientist (AI) (Robotics and Vision-Language Models): Building vision-language pipelines and large-scale data systems that transform egocentric and teleoperation video into training data for vision-language-action models, with an accent on robot learning, structured annotation, and data curation. Focus on developing representations connecting perception, language, and robot actions, discovering metadata for manipulation, and improving cross-embodiment transfer and world models.

Location: San Mateo, United States; hybrid work required

Company

Builds data collection systems, annotation pipelines, large-scale data infrastructure, and software tools for foundation models and general-purpose robotics.

What you will do

  • Design and implement vision-language pipelines for egocentric and teleoperation video, including structured captioning, temporal grounding, action-conditioned scene understanding, and semantic annotation.
  • Develop and evaluate representations connecting visual perception, language, and low-level robot actions across VLAs, video prediction, and world models.
  • Build data curation systems to assess the quality, diversity, and coverage of large-scale robot demonstration datasets.
  • Work with bimanual and high-DoF manipulation data from real teleoperation footage and simulation-generated rollouts.
  • Collaborate with partner labs to define data requirements and connect data quality with downstream policy performance.
  • Translate research developments in VLAs, video foundation models, flow matching, DiT architectures, and egocentric pretraining into production systems.

Requirements

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Machine Learning, or a related field.
  • 3–7 years of research or applied research experience in vision-language models, video understanding, robot learning, or generative modeling.
  • Deep fluency in PyTorch.
  • Working knowledge of large-scale training infrastructure, including distributed training, mixed precision, and large-batch workflows.
  • Published work or demonstrable impact in VLMs/VLAs, video representation learning, imitation learning, or a related area.
  • Strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to design clean systems.

Nice to have

  • Experience with contact events, affordance labels, implicit reward signals, or dynamics priors derived from robot data.
  • Experience with cross-embodiment transfer, automatic curriculum generation, or manipulation-focused world models.
  • Junior candidates may also be considered.

Culture & Benefits

  • Competitive compensation and equity.
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits.
  • Flexible work arrangements within the hybrid setup.
  • Collaborative, fast-paced, and values-driven environment.
  • Opportunity to contribute to robotics and AI research.
