Senior Robotics Data-Collection Engineer

Galactic Resource Advancement Mechanism Technologies Corporation; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 170,000 - 220,000; Full time

Job summary

GRAM, based in San Francisco, seeks a senior engineer to own the systems and methods that generate high-quality robot data from physical work, including demonstration, teleoperation, intervention, and autonomous operation.

You will define capture contracts, ensure data quality, and validate experiences to produce reproducible datasets that inform training and evaluation decisions. This role is on-site with access to robots and collection systems in a physical environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in CS, EE, ME, robotics, or equivalent experience.
• Strong C++ or Python in Linux with robot middleware and hardware debugging.
• Experience building teleoperation or data-collection systems for physical work.
• Ability to measure latency, timing, calibration, and data quality with tests.
• Experience turning learning objectives into physical collection protocols.

Responsibilities

• Build field-capable demonstration interfaces and robust systems for teleoperation, intervention, autonomous rollout, and recovery-data collection in realistic physical work.
• Translate model failures and evaluation gaps into controlled scenarios, collection protocols, sampling priorities, and measurable acceptance criteria.
• Design operator interfaces with explicit command authority, latency budgets, feedback, safe handoff, and emergency behavior.
• Instrument demonstration tools, robots, operators, and environments so perception, action, timing, contact, intervention, and task outcome remain aligned and valid at capture.
• Commission collection stations and diagnose failures spanning sensors, controls, networking, operator input, robot execution, and recorded data.
• Define operator procedures, calibration checks, training, and escalation paths that produce consistent evidence across people and sessions.
• Measure whether collected experience changes model or system performance, then use the result to refine the next campaign.
