We are looking for Member of Technical Staff, Robotics Research candidates for a project delivered through micro1.
What you'll do
- Research the data needs of frontier robotics, world models, and physical AI systems.
- Design new datasets and collection methods across egocentric video, teleop, UMI, robot trajectories, sensors, and simulation.
- Define data schemas, annotations, ground truth, and evaluations for areas like manipulation, navigation, spatial reasoning, and physical understanding.
- Run experiments to understand what data and structure most improve model performance.
- Work with leading AI and robotics labs to turn research needs into scalable data pipelines and products.
- Stay current on frontier research and use it to shape micro1’s robotics data strategy.
What you need
- 2–5+ years in robotics, computer vision, multimodal learning, embodied AI, or applied ML research.
- Strong understanding of robotics/physical AI and multimodal data.
- Ability to translate research problems into concrete datasets, experiments, and specifications.
- Strong technical communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Degree in Robotics, CS, EE, ML, or related field, or equivalent experience.
Nice to have
- Experience working at a leading robotics, AI, or autonomous systems company or research lab.
- Hands-on experience with embodied AI datasets, imitation learning, teleoperation, or robot learning pipelines.
- Experience designing or working with multimodal robotics datasets, including video, sensor, trajectory, or simulation data.
- Hands-on experience with robotics hardware, sensor integration, or rapid prototyping.
- Familiarity with data collection and evaluation for manipulation, navigation, spatial reasoning, or world models.
