About the Role

~1 min read

You will own the programs that turn research priorities into usable robotics datasets, working with ML researchers, robotics engineers, data engineers, and operations teams to determine what data we need, translate those requirements into collection and annotation programs, and ensure the resulting datasets are delivered with the required quality, coverage, and timing. This is a technically demanding program role. You will not directly build every tool or run every collection shift, but you will understand the complete data lifecycle and drive coordinated execution across the teams responsible for it.
