Job Responsibilities:GEAR Lab builds robot foundation models, trained on data we collect ourselves - every day, on real robots. We are looking for a senior software engineer to own the system behind that operation: the collection platform, the tooling our operators run on, the pipeline the data flows through, and the fleet it all runs on.
This is an engineering role. Day-to-day teleoperation is performed by a dedicated operator team that you direct - you build what they run on, and you own what comes out of it.
What you'll be doing- Design, build, and maintain the software behind our data collection stations - teleoperation stack, multi-camera recording, and session tooling.
- Deploy and upgrade that stack across the fleet without stopping collection; keep workstations, containers, and networking healthy.
- Own the data pipeline end to end: automated validation, conversion into our dataset format, upload, metadata, and versioning.
- Build the QA tooling that catches dropped frames, stream desync, bad calibration, and mislabeled episodes before data reaches training.
- Direct a team of teleoperators - define task protocols and SOPs, onboard them on new tasks and embodiments, review session quality, and unblock them daily.
- Own fleet reliability: calibration and firmware pipelines, sensor and end-effector integration, root-cause analysis of recurring faults, and vendor escalation.
- Bring up new stations and new embodiments; report throughput, yield, and data health to the research team.
Additional Job Details:
What we need to see- MS in CS, Robotics, EE/ME, or a related field (or BS with equivalent hands-on experience).
- 3+ years building software for real robot systems - not simulation only.
- A system you designed and shipped that other people depended on daily, and that you kept running.
- Strong Python and Linux; Docker, git, CI, and SSH-based fleet administration.
- Robot middleware and real-time multi-sensor recording - ROS 2 or equivalent vendor SDKs.
- Experience supporting a data collection or teleoperation operation: you have built the tools operators depend on and owned throughput and quality numbers.
- Comfortable around robot hardware - arms or humanoids, dexterous hands, RGB-D cameras, and the calibration that keeps them honest.
- Able to lead operators without formal authority: you write clear SOPs, train people, and communicate status without being asked.
Ways to stand out from the crowd- Humanoid or bimanual platforms (Unitree, Fourier, ALOHA/ARX-class rigs) and dexterous hands.
- XR teleoperation: Quest / PICO / Vision Pro, motion-capture gloves, whole-body retargeting.
- Imitation-learning data tooling - LeRobot, HDF5/Zarr episode stores, dataset versioning, S3 at TB-PB scale.
- Built internal dashboards or tooling for a production line or high-throughput lab.
- Open-source contributions to robotics data or teleoperation tooling.
