Robotics Deployment Engineer

About the Role

You will build and operate the human-and-robot system behind frontier robotics models.

Manage the teleoperators. Collect the data. Evaluate the model. Find out why the robot failed. Fix the pipeline. Train the next version. Put it back on the robot.

At our stage, deployment is research. What happens on the factory floor determines what data we collect, what models we train, and what infrastructure we build next.

You will work directly with the CTO and founding team across teleoperation management, data operations, model evaluation, deployment software, model training, and real-robot integration.

The scope is intentionally broad. The person who sees a failure in the field should be able to trace it across the teleoperator, task design, dataset, model, software, hardware, and environment — and then help fix the complete system.

This is an early, high-ownership role rather than a narrowly defined graduate position.

What You'll Do

• Evaluate VLA and robotics models on physical robots in real factory environments.
• Run and validate data collection at partner factories — teleoperator management, task design, and data quality.
• Diagnose failures across the complete system: teleoperator, task design, dataset, model, software, hardware, and environment.
• Improve our scheduling and deployment infrastructure.
• Participate in model training and fine-tuning alongside the research team.
• Deploy improved models back onto real robots and verify the gains on hardware.
• Use AI coding tools as a core part of your workflow.

What We're Looking For

• Strong software and computer engineering fundamentals, with evidence you can independently understand difficult systems.
• Hands-on robotics experience — RoboMaster, Robocon, a robotics team, a research lab, or systems you built yourself.
• Rapid learning speed, intellectual curiosity, and high agency. We do not require prior experience with our exact robotics stack.
• Comfortable moving between software, models, robots, and operational problems.
• Based in Shenzhen and willing to travel regularly to partner factories.
• Fluent in English.

Why Join Us

You will own the complete loop from teleoperation to model training in your first months, working directly with the CTO and founding team. Compensation is RMB 15,000–40,000 per month, plus annual bonus and meaningful early-employee equity. We can assist eligible candidates with work-permit arrangements.
