Agility Robotics is a pioneer. Our robot, Digit, is the first to be sold into workplaces across the globe. Our team is differentiated by its expertise in imagining, engineering, and delivering robots with advanced mobility, dexterity, intelligence, and efficiency -- robots specifically designed to work alongside people, in spaces built for people. Every day, we break through engineering challenges and invent new solutions and capabilities that will one day make robots commonplace and approachable. This work is our passion and our responsibility: our mission is to make businesses more productive and people’s lives more fulfilling.
About The Role
Our Autonomy Perception Team is growing rapidly and we are looking for talented engineers to join our small, agile, world-class team. In this role you will support efforts to build perception features that will enable Digit to autonomously interact with its environment and manipulate objects during real-world deployments with industry partners.
About The Work
- Support training, optimization, and deployment of machine learning models on a large fleet of state-of-the-art humanoid robots
- Train and deploy custom machine learning models to improve robot perception and task performance for specific customer environments and applications
- Develop systems to monitor perception performance for robots in the field
- Develop robot data collection, annotation, and analysis protocols to improve machine learning models and perception performance for robots in the field
- Support cluster hardware, software, and protocols for training and evaluating machine learning models
- Support machine learning performance tests on secondary cluster that uses robot compute and GPU hardware
- Work with other teams in software (Manipulation, Navigation, Planning, and Controls) to solve complex cross functional problems
About You
- BS or MS in computer science or related field or have equivalent industry experience
- 3+ years of relevant experience as a machine learning engineer
- Experience training ML models (cluster-based training is a plus)
- Familiarity with common machine learning libraries such as (but not limited to) PyTorch and Slurm
- Software experience in Python
- Experience with version control (Git)
- Ability to communicate technical information effectively both orally and in writing with other team members
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team with a demonstrated ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships
- Authorization to work in the USA
You might also have:
- Experience setting up compute cluster for simultaneously training and validation of multiple ML models
- Experience deploying neural networks with limited compute (e.g., TensorRT, ONNX, Pytorch Mobile, Tensorflow Lite, etc.)
- Experience with robotics hardware and embedded systems
- Experience with data annotation services
- Experience with GPU Programming (eg. CUDA, OpenGL)
- Experience with modern C++
- Exposure to standard agile and software development processes (issue tracking tools (Jira), feature branching, version control (Git), continuous integration and deployment
