You will own both the software and hardware of our teleoperation pipeline, creating large quantities of high-quality data across multiple robot modalities (arms and mobile robots) to be used by our research and deployment teams. You will collaborate with our team of teleoperators to ensure that their experience is intuitive and ergonomic, thereby increasing data quality and throughput.\nResponsibilities\nRapidly design and fabricate electromechanical teleoperation devices to support research experiments and new data collection techniques.\n\nDesign the software tooling needed to collect data for VLA training at scale, including both the interface for teleoperators and backend data-processing pipeline\n\nDefine what “good data” means as concrete, measurable metrics and implement an automated pipeline that ensures data quality.\n\nBuild data-augmentation and data adaptation pipelines to convert human video and video collected with less robot hardware into usable training data.\n\nContribute to publications and open-source releases.\n\nPartner with customers to take manipulation capabilities from prototype to deployed product.\n\nMinimum Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\nJob or Research experience in machine learning, robotics, and computer vision.\n\nProduction-ready Python. C++ and Rust are also a plus!\n\nMust obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.\n\nDesired Qualifications\nMS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.\n\nHave strong fundamentals in rigid body kinematics, coordinate frame transforms, camera calibration, and robotic controls\n\nDemonstrated projects using robotic middleware platforms such as ROS2 or Zenoh, and comfort writing multithreaded, asynchronous code\n\nHands-on experience with modern teleoperation methods for robot arms and mobile manipulators (including leader/follower setups, UMI, VR/AR, etc)\n\nHands-on experience with modern manipulation policies - VLAs, world action models, reinforcement learning, imitation learning, diffusion or flow-matching policies, or agentic robot policies.\n\nBroad experience with many different industrial robots, and deep knowledge of modern sensing hardware: RGB and RGB-D cameras, LiDAR, force and tactile sensing.\n\nJudgment about systems constraints - latency, throughput, compute budget, memory - and the ability to factor them into model and architecture choices.\n\nAbout General Robotics\nGeneral Robotics is building the intelligence grid for physical AI - the platform that makes any robot, from robotic arms to humanoids, genuinely intelligent. Headquartered in Redmond, Washington, we're venture backed, including by Accenture, who invested in General Robotics in 2026 to advance Physical AI-powered robotics in manufacturing and logistics, and we're also part of Microsoft's Startups Pegasus Program. Our team's work spans some of the most widely adopted robotics and AI research to come out of Microsoft Research, Google Research and DeepMind - including AirSim, PACT, ClimaX, Tensorflow Object Detection and VideoPoet.\nWork Authorization\nThis role is open to candidates currently based in and authorized to work in the US.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nGeneral Robotics is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the\nbasis of any status protected by applicable law.\nAccommodations\nIf you need a reasonable accommodation during the application or interview\nprocess, please contact: ","description_format":"text","description_chars":3832,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Military Robotics","Robotic Software & Control Systems"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T04:11:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":23,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.513,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":33,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/generalrobotics-robotics-engineer-teleoperation-focus","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/generalrobotics-robotics-engineer-teleoperation-focus.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T14:10:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21809,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6281},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6281"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgeneralrobotics-robotics-engineer-teleoperation-focus"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgeneralrobotics-robotics-engineer-teleoperation-focus"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgeneralrobotics-robotics-engineer-teleoperation-focus"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/generalrobotics-robotics-engineer-teleoperation-focus\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgeneralrobotics-robotics-engineer-teleoperation-focus"}]}
