Maven is building the first general-purpose robotics system for industrial work. Our mission is to activate autonomous labor at scale and build toward infinitely elastic industrial capacity. We’re a team of engineers, researchers, and operators who have spent our careers working on the hardest problems in AI, robotics, engineering, and autonomous systems. We work at the intersection of advanced research and real-world engineering, turning ideas into prototypes and deployed systems.\nAt Maven, we build around the realities of industrial work. The robots are designed from first principles for complex physical environments and rigorous commercial standards. They master real tasks that deliver immediate impact, industrial-grade reliability, and intelligence that compounds at scale. We’re growing an ambitious team of people who think in systems, move quickly, and are builders at heart.\nAbout the Role\nAs a Robotics Evaluation Engineer at Maven Robotics, you will build the systems that measure, diagnose, and improve robot policy performance across simulation and real robots. You will own the core evaluation infrastructure that enables our AI team to rigorously compare models, understand failure modes, measure generalization and reliability, and make better decisions about data, training, and deployment.\nYou will work closely with robot learning researchers and engineers across simulation, perception, controls, data, and infrastructure to define task success, build reproducible evaluation frameworks, automate testing, and develop the tools needed to understand why robot policies succeed or fail.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn the architecture, implementation, and evolution of Maven’s robot learning evaluation framework across simulation and real robots\nDefine task specifications, success criteria, failure taxonomies, evaluation metrics, and benchmark protocols for manipulation policies\nBuild automated systems for comparing models, detecting regressions, running large-scale evaluations, and generating clear performance reports\nDevelop simulation environments, task scenarios, and procedural variations used for policy evaluation\nBuild reproducible real-robot evaluation workflows that minimize manual supervision and produce statistically meaningful results\nMeasure and improve the relationship between simulated and real-world policy performance\nBuild tools for replaying, visualizing, and diagnosing policy failures across simulation and physical robots\nWork closely with robot learning researchers to identify whether failures originate from the model, data, perception, controls, calibration, simulation, hardware, or long-horizon execution\nWhat We’re Looking For\nSignificant experience building robotics evaluation, simulation, testing, or benchmarking systems.\nStrong programming ability in Python, C++, or similar robotics or systems languages\nExperience with robotics simulation platforms such as Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or similar systems\nExperience evaluating learned robotic policies in simulation and on physical robots\nExperience designing reproducible experiments, metrics, benchmarks, and failure-analysis workflows\nAbility to build reliable software systems for automated testing, data collection, visualization, and reporting\nStrong understanding of robotics systems and the ability to debug issues across software, models, sensors, controls, and hardware\nA track record of independently owning complex technical projects from initial design through deployment and ongoing operation\nNice to Have\nFamiliarity with sim-to-real transfer, domain randomization, sensor modeling, and system identification\nExperience importing and configuring simulation assets, including robot models, objects, joints, collisions, inertial properties, materials, and sensors\nExperience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, continuous integration for robotics, or automated robot test cells\nFamiliarity with multimodal robot policies, vision-language-action models, or other learned manipulation architectures\nStrong background in statistical analysis, confidence estimation, and experimental design\nEqual Opportunity\nMaven Robotics is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4382,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotics AI","Humanoid Robots"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T11:59:31Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 4","filings_12m":4,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":157500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":546,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/maven-robotics-evaluation-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/maven-robotics-evaluation-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T22:24:10Z","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":32808,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"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":678672},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678672"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmaven-robotics-evaluation-engineer"},{"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%2Fmaven-robotics-evaluation-engineer"},{"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%2Fmaven-robotics-evaluation-engineer"},{"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/maven-robotics-evaluation-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmaven-robotics-evaluation-engineer"}]}
