Robotics Manipulation Engineer

ph3About The Role /h3pWe 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. /ppThis 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. /ppYou will join a fast-growing robotics and AI team building solutions to real-world problems. /ph3What you'll do /h3ulliOwn 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. /liliIntegrate robot learning libraries (LeRobot, DAgger, RL, ACT/diffusion policies, VLAs, NVIDIA Isaac) into our training and deployment pipelines. /liliDebug 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. /liliWire ML artifacts and tooling (WB, HF Hub, GCS) into the systems that actually run on robots. /liliBuild and improve the teleoperation and data-collection interfaces that make good demonstration data possible. /liliUse simulation when it speeds things up and real robots when it does not. /li /ulh3What you bring /h3ulliA track record of integrating complex libraries and frameworks into working systems, including an understanding of their failure modes rather than only their happy path. /liliExperience integrating ML libraries into real software systems (research code into something closer to production). /liliSolid frontend skills, ideally React with TypeScript. You can ship a usable interface. /liliA taste for distributed systems, and an understanding that the model is one component among many. /liliA show-and-tell instinct. You build to demo rather than to spec. /li /ulh3Bonus Points /h3ulliAt 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. /liliExperience with ROS2. /liliHands-on experience with LeRobot, DAgger, or RL. /liliExperience with WebRTC, GStreamer, or other real-time, low-latency systems. /liliExperience with WebXR or immersive teleoperation interfaces. /liliExperience with robot simulation (Isaac, MuJoCo, or similar). /liliCustomer-facing experience in demos, on-site integration, or technical pre-sales. /li /ulh3Why Join Us? /h3pJoin us in reinventing how robots can be integrated into society through safe, intelligent, and innovative robotic solutions. /ppAt Embodied AI, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge soft robotics technologies and contribute directly to the development of robots that can safely interact with people and operate in complex real-world environments. /ppIf you are a motivated engineer with a passion for robotics and technology, eager to take ownership of challenging technical problems and grow within a fast-paced robotics startup, we would love to hear from you. /ppEmbodied AI is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
