Role Overview
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to own the systems that power a large-scale data collection operation, including the collection platform, operator tooling, data pipeline, and fleet infrastructure.
This is an engineering role. Day-to-day teleoperation is performed by a dedicated operator team that you direct — you build what they run on, and you own what comes out of it.
Project Details
• Location: 100% Onsite (Santa Clara, CA, US)
• Employment: Full-time W-2, Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM
• Start Date: ASAP
• Contract Duration: 12-month contract with possibility of extension
• Rate: $105/hour
What You'll Do
• Design, build, and maintain the software behind our data collection stations — teleoperation stack, multi-camera recording, and session tooling.
• Deploy and upgrade that stack across the fleet without stopping collection; keep workstations, containers, and networking healthy.
• Own the data pipeline end to end: automated validation, conversion into our dataset format, upload, metadata, and versioning.
• Build the QA tooling that catches dropped frames, stream desync, bad calibration, and mislabeled episodes before data reaches training.
• Direct a team of teleoperators — define task protocols and SOPs, onboard them on new tasks and embodiments, review session quality, and unblock them daily.
• Own fleet reliability: calibration and firmware pipelines, sensor and end-effector integration, root-cause analysis of recurring faults, and vendor escalation.
• Bring up new stations and new embodiments; report throughput, yield, and data health to the research team.
