Job Description

As a Research Engineer in Data Infrastructure, you will design and implement a “data engine” that uploads the data collected by the robot fleet, makes this data easy to query and train on. Your work ensures high‑quality data pipelines are built and maintained, enabling rapid model development, large‑scale annotation, and smooth integration between on‑robot, on‑premise, and cloud systems.

Job Responsibility

  • Optimize operational efficiency of data collection on the NEO fleet
  • Design triggers on the robot to determine if and when data should be uploaded
  • Automate ETL pipelines so fleet‑wide data is easily queryable and available for training
  • Work with external dataset providers to prepare diverse multi-modal pre-training datasets
  • Build frontend tools for visualizing and automating labeling of very large datasets
  • Develop machine learning models to automatically label and organize datasets

Requirements

  • Strong experience in building data pipelines and ETL systems
  • Ability to design and implement systems that collect, upload, and manage data from robotic fleets
  • Familiarity with architectures combining on‑robot components, on‑premises clusters, and cloud systems
  • Experience with data labeling tools or building tooling for dataset visualization and annotation
  • Skills in creating or applying machine learning models for dataset organization / automated labeling

What we offer

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off and holidays
