The RoleYou'll build the physical systems our researchers use to test what robots have learned. You'll bring robots, sensors, and software together for demonstrations, policy deployment, and experiments that the team can repeat and trust. Precise calibration, sound control, and careful debugging will connect Mecka's data to how robots behave on real hardware, so the team can tell a weakness in a learned policy apart from a problem in the system running it.
What You'll Do- Integrate robotics hardware and software for data collection and repeatable experiments.
- Develop calibration and diagnostic tools for coordinate frames, timing, and sensor quality.
- Deploy perception models and learned policies on robots, and investigate how they perform on real tasks.
- Build recording, teleoperation, and evaluation workflows with our robot-learning researchers.
- Make systems more reliable through hardware debugging, software improvements, and clear recovery procedures.
What You BringMust-have:
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in robotics, mechatronics, or a closely related engineering field.
- Strong Python and C++ skills, with practical experience developing on Linux.
- Hands-on experience building, integrating, and debugging robotics or mechatronic systems.
- A solid understanding of kinematics, coordinate transforms, sensor calibration, and time synchronization.
- Experience with robot interfaces, control loops, and communication between software and physical hardware.
- Ability to integrate perception or machine-learning models into a running robotic system.
- A systematic approach to diagnosing failures across software, electronics, sensors, and mechanics.
A Note on ApplyingStudies show women and candidates from underrepresented groups often only apply when they meet 100% of the listed qualifications, while others apply after meeting 60%. If you don't check every box above but believe you can do the job, we encourage you to apply - we're looking for capability and trajectory, not a perfect checklist match.
