## Job description

We’re building manipulation models for deploying general-purpose robots. Our data infrastructure generates rich, multi-modal human demonstration data at exponential scale. We use it to train manipulation models that work reliably across tasks, objects, and robot embodiments.

A robot has no commercial value unless it works 99% of the time. Our research is focused on bridging the gap between 40% and 99% in real world deployments.  
  
**What you’ll do:**

-   Evaluate our models on real robots in the lab and collect failure data to improve policies
-   Build sim evals with varied scenes and edge cases
-   Collect demonstration data with our capture hardware to fine-tune policies
-   Set up and maintain robot arms, grippers, cameras, and sensors

**You should have:**

-   Hands-on time with real robot hardware, even if it was just a course project or a competition
-   Comfort debugging across the stack, from hardware and sensors to code to the model
-   Experience evaluating or running policies, ideally in robotics, VLAs, world models, or imitation learning
-   No aversion to unglamorous work, in robotics, research and debugging have to go hand-in-hand
-   A track record that shows you want to see robots work in the real world, projects, research, or competitions

Our culture is built on honesty and a willingness to fail fast. If you see yourself fitting here, please apply.

**Comp:**

-   $20-$30/hr
-   10-14 weeks
-   NYC office at Newlab, equipment budget, meals
