Tech stack

Computer Vision C++ (Programming Language) Machine Learning Azure Machine Learning Software Engineering ONNX (Open Neural Network Exchange) Format Production Code

Job description

  • Train and build machine learning models for real-world robotic applications.
  • Work across the robotics stack, the ML platform, and the infrastructure for model training.
  • Build models from scratch for novel problems where prior research or pre-trained models do not apply.
  • Write clean, testable, production-quality code that integrates with the broader system.
  • Collaborate closely with robotics, software, and clinical teams to bring new capabilities to the robot.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience training machine learning models, either in graduate studies or professional work. This is a must, not something to learn on the job.
  • Ability to build models from scratch for problems where existing research does not apply, rather than only fine-tuning or retraining existing models.
  • Ability to scope out an ambiguous ML problem and define an approach when there is no established path to follow.

Software Engineering

  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, production-quality code.
  • Experience writing tests and validating software behavior. Testing is a core part of how we build, not an afterthought.
  • Comfortable working across multiple parts of the technical stack, from robotics to ML platform to training infrastructure.
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.

Ownership & Startup Mindset

  • Strong ownership mindset and ability to independently drive projects forward.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment with evolving priorities.
  • The project needs to be delivered, and you do what it takes to get it there.
  • Willingness to seek feedback, iterate quickly, and collaborate closely with teammates.

Nice to have

  • Experience with computer vision or vision models.
  • Experience deploying high-performance ML models in production (for example, converting trained models to ONNX or similar formats for C++ inference).
  • Experience with C++.
  • Experience with robotics or hardware-adjacent systems.
  • Experience working in startup environments.

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive salary and equity package
  • Flexible healthcare benefits through an individual coverage reimbursement program
  • Monthly health and wellness stipend
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Visa sponsorship available for eligible candidates
  • The opportunity to help build a category-defining company from an early stage

Compensation Range: $150K - $250K
