Head of Robotics Data Engineering & Data Quality

Provision; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

Provision seeks a head of the data engine to shape our approach to data collection, labeling, and benchmarking for robotics applications. You will lead a team of programmatic and human annotators, design scalable pipelines, and define quality metrics that push the frontier of real-world data.

You will partner with operations and hardware teams to balance throughput, quality, and cost, and you will develop models for QA, 3D pose reconstruction, SLAM, and related components to accelerate

Qualifications

• A passion for data and understanding of data distributions in the wild.
• A vision of robotics data modalities and distributions as robotics advances.

Responsibilities

• Commune directly with the operations team to structure an efficient pipeline with the right distribution of environments, manipulation tasks, diversity, etc
• Similarly, work with the hardware team to design in-house, vertically integrated hardware that satisfies our modal needs for “good data.”
• Own both the human and automated components of the quality control and annotation pipelines. This includes the ability to manage and scale talent, and an understanding of where humans are preferable in the pipeline, versus machines.
• Develop novel models for quality assurance, annotation, 3D pose reconstruction, SLAM, and other components
• Construct an end-to-end pipeline that optimizes for throughput, quality, and cost efficiency.
