Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Own the end-to-end architecture of the teleoperation system, from operator input through real-time robot execution, ensuring low latency, predictable behavior, and clear system boundaries
  • Integrate and optimize real-time control, streaming, and communication paths to meet measurable latency and bandwidth targets
  • Design and implement scalable teleoperation interfaces, including VR, motion capture, and other modalities, to enable high-quality manipulation and locomotion demonstrations
  • Develop comprehensive validation strategies in simulation and on hardware, including performance benchmarks, fault handling, and regression testing
  • Analyze teleoperation and demonstration data to improve operator efficiency, system responsiveness, and task success rates
  • Anticipate future robot hardware and sensor changes, and design systems that can adapt to new interfaces and capabilities with minimal architectural disruption

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in robotics or real-time systems, with a demonstrated track record of delivering reliable, production-quality software
  • Deep understanding of real-time control systems, motion retargeting, and rigid body dynamics
  • Experience designing low-latency communication and streaming systems for real-time applications
  • Strong systems intuition with the ability to trace performance issues across software, networking, and hardware boundaries
  • Strong analytical and debugging skills, with a data-driven approach to performance validation and system reliability
  • Hands-on experience integrating human input systems such as VR, motion capture, wearable devices, or other operator interfaces
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across AI, controls, hardware, and operations teams.
