Job Description
About Us:
micro1 is the end-to-end human data infrastructure behind AGI. Our AI recruiter model is used by frontier AI labs and Fortune 10s to source, vet, and deploy PhDs and professors from the world’s top universities at scale. These experts are placed directly into the training loops of the most advanced AI systems, powering the breakthroughs that move models forward. Our data platform converts their expertise into high-signal training datasets, and our talent management tooling measures, routes, and improves performance at scale.
Job Summary:
Join us to help define the future of robotics data. As a Robotics Researcher, you’ll work at the forefront of R&D—shaping how embodied data is collected, structured, and used for robot learning and perception.
What You’ll Do:
- Define and standardize robotics data formats, schemas, and benchmarks.
- Design innovative data collection methods (human demos, teleop, sensors).
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align on model training data.
- Evaluate datasets for diversity, scalability, and impact.
- Prototype experiments and tools for efficient data gathering.
- Stay updated on leading labs (Tesla, Figure, 1X) and integrate best practices.
What You Bring:
- 2–5+ years in robotics R&D, data engineering, or applied research.
- Strong grasp of robotics data pipelines and multimodal schemas (RGB-D, IMU, pose, language).
- Experience in robot perception, control, or data-driven learning.
- Excellent communicator with cross-disciplinary collaboration skills.
- Degree in Robotics, CS, EE, or related field.
Bonus Points:
- Experience at top robotics or AI companies.
- Familiarity with embodied AI datasets or imitation learning pipelines.
- Hands-on sensor prototyping experience.
