Software Engineer - Manipulation

Highlights

• Develop manipulation policies for humanoid robot Apollo for real-world tasks.
• Take policies from demo data and simulation to robust fleet deployment.
• Solve grasping, in-hand and whole-arm manipulation on physical hardware.

Ideal candidate

A robotics builder who loves taking learned behaviors onto real hardware and iterating with hardware and systems teams to make manipulation reliable at scale.

Requirements

• Strong experience in robotic manipulation including grasping, in-hand or whole-arm control with hardware deployment
• Hands-on experience training learned policies including RL fine-tuning, distillation and imitation learning
• Proficiency in Python, C++, and PyTorch or JAX with real-time robotic software stacks
• Experience working with demonstration and teleoperation data and evaluation pipelines
• MS with 3+ years or recent PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field
• Proven track record taking learned policies from simulation to successful deployment on physical hardware
