Job Description
• Design Physical AI problem formulations that map real‑world robotic behavior into concrete data and evaluation requirements for training policies, world models, and perception systems.
• Prototype perception, world‑model, and action‑representation pipelines (e.g., VLMs, VLAs, world models) to understand what data is needed, why it matters, and how quality will be measured.
• Use simulation and synthetic environments (digital twins, Isaac/Omniverse‑style tools) to generate, stress‑test, and scale datasets for robotics and humanoid systems, grounded in real sensors, tasks, and constraints.
• Work directly with customers’ robotics and ML teams to define data specifications, collection strategies (egocentric capture, teacher‑follower demonstrations, imitation learning), and evaluation benchmarks that tie to model performance and business outcomes.
• Lead technical discovery and pre‑sales pilots: scope projects, design experiments, and secure the “technical win” by demonstrating uplift from our data, annotations, and pipelines.
• Collaborate with internal data‑collection and platform teams to design robust data pipelines, annotation workflows (including affordances and advanced CV labels), and QA processes that generalize across customers.
• Develop reusable playbooks, reference architectures, and demos for common Physical‑AI use cases (manipulation, mobile navigation, teleoperation, human‑robot interaction) to accelerate future engagements.
• Influence the product and tooling roadmap by bringing structured feedback from frontier robotics customers, and help shape a scalable “Robotics & Physical AI data platform.”
• Represent the company at key industry events and workshops, evangelizing best practices for robotics data, simulation, and evaluation and helping build a broader data and partner ecosystem.
Job Requirements
- Strong background in robotics, computer vision, or embodied / Physical AI, with experience building or training real robotic or simulation‑based systems.
- Systems‑level mindset: able to move from physical task → model behavior → data representation → metrics, and explain trade‑offs clearly to both engineers and product leaders.
- Familiarity with world models, imitation‑learning or teleoperation pipelines, simulation‑based workflows, or synthetic data generation for robotics.
- 3+ years of hands‑on development in Python and at least one of C++/Java or similar languages used in robotics or ML engineering.
- Comfort operating in ambiguous, early‑stage problem spaces; you can rapidly scope MVP solutions and iterate with customers.
- Clear technical communication and a customer‑facing solution‑architect mindset—able to run whiteboard sessions, lead workshops, and collaborate directly with foundation‑model builders and robotics teams on data and technical requirements.
- Strong project‑management and ownership skills: you can drive pilots from idea to delivery, coordinate across internal teams, and keep technical and commercial goals aligned.
Benefits
- Please be aware of recruitment scams involving individuals or organizations falsely claiming to represent employers. Innodata will never ask for payment, banking details, or sensitive personal information during the application process.
