• Data Operations runs large-scale robot teleoperation and wearable data collection used to train robot manipulation models. The team builds the data pipelines, reporting infrastructure, and operator-facing tools that give the organization visibility into how much data is being collected, how efficiently, and at what quality. • We are hiring an experienced Data Engineer to design, build, and own the data models, pipelines, and reporting that this operation runs on. Today a meaningful amount of operational reporting is assembled by hand; a significant part of this role is replacing that with automated, trustworthy systems. • This is an embedded, high-visibility role rather than a ticket-queue role. You will work directly with robot operators, site leads, and program managers, translate their questions into durable data models, and own the numbers that appear in leadership reviews.
