Senior Robotics Manipulation Engineer

Who you are

• Ideally, you will possess strong software system and interface design skills
• BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or a related discipline
• 5+ years of relevant Industry or Research experience
• Strong Python programming skills
• Knowledge of Modern C++ and Linux
• Experience with multiple of the following:
• Artificial Intelligence (imitation learning, reinforcement learning, deep learning, LLMs)
• Distributed ML Training Platforms (Ray or other)
• Task and Motion Planning
• Simulation
• Experience with Git and modern CI pipelines
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
• Previous startup experience

What the job involves

• As a Senior Robotics Manipulation Engineer, you will be working on a myriad of challenges related to manipulation, control, simulation and learning
• You will bring a data driven approach to learned robot controls
• You will also stay abreast of the latest progress in reinforcement learning, motion planning and controls, and other related fields in order to further develop Dexterity’s technology foundations in physical AI
• Dexterity’s robotic solutions integrate data from a multitude of sensors, including RGB cameras, depth sensors, force-torque sensors, encoders, system telemetry and human input
• To better inform the planning and execution system, you may work on sensor fusion and state estimation techniques to leverage this multimodal sensory data
• You will work closely with the data platform, simulation, and robot operations teams to collect training data to improve your models
• In addition to core manipulation and controls, you will be responsible for building high quality, maintainable, and performant software
• Train models for robotic manipulation, force control, servoing etc
• Convert heuristics based control to learned models
• Develop the right state space representation for our Robotics Systems
• Collaborate with roboticist, machine learning engineers, mechanical engineers, and product managers to find optimal system solutions
• Implement, test, and maintain high quality software
• Lead efforts to improve the rigor and performance of models within Dexterity
