Robotics Research Engineer, Teleoperation
Core
Design and build end-to-end teleoperation systems for home robots, mapping human motion to bimanual robot motion over real networks.
Role type
Senior IC robotics research engineer (teleoperation)
Builds
Operator visual interfaces, input layers, retargeting pipelines, latency-hiding systems, and shared autonomy features for home robots.
Domain
Robotics, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Control Systems
Deliverable
production ML models | product features
Required skills
Teleoperation system design, interactive systems development (VR/game engines), time-domain passivity control, optimization-based control (differential IK, QP), systems profiling, ergonomic specification
Preferred skills
Surgical robotics experience, humanoid teleoperation, haptics lab background, C++ production software engineering, shared autonomy research
Technologies
C++, VR, simulation, game engines, stereo video rendering, motion capture hardware
Responsibilities
Build operator visual interfaces with stereo video rendering and state overlays; integrate and evaluate headsets and controllers; map operator motion to robot motion respecting hardware limits; implement prediction and simulation to hide latency; blend operator input with autonomous assistance; specify operator station requirements for input rigs and ergonomics.
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC
