Humanoid Teleoperation XR Interface Engineer

Shape the future of humanoid robotics by building next-generation XR teleoperation systems for a state-of-the-art robot fleet. You will drive immersive interfaces that let operators see, feel, and control remote humanoids in real time.

What you’ll do

• Design and implement immersive XR teleoperation interfaces (VR/AR/MR) that enable low-latency control of humanoid robots for manipulation and locomotion tasks.
• Build end-to-end teleop pipelines: ingest multi-modal sensor streams (vision, audio, proprioception), map them into XR environments, and expose robust control surfaces back to the robot.
• Prototype and iterate on interaction paradigms (hand/gesture control, motion retargeting, gaze- and voice-augmented control) together with operators, controls, and AI teams.
• Collaborate closely with controls, autonomy, and platform engineers to ensure your interfaces meet real-time constraints and integrate cleanly into our humanoid stack.
• Instrument, benchmark, and harden teleoperation UX for reliability under real-world network conditions, including degraded bandwidth and variable latency.
• Contribute to internal tools and frameworks that standardize teleoperation across robots, sites, and customer deployments.

Must-have skills

• Strong experience building interactive 3D or XR applications (Unity, Unreal, WebXR, or similar), from prototype to production.
• Hands-on experience with XR hardware (e.g., Quest, Vision Pro, Varjo, Index).
• Proficiency in modern UI/UX engineering with a focus on real-time interaction and usability under operator load.
• Solid programming skills in TypeScript/JavaScript and comfort with modular application architecture.
• Experience with real-time networking, streaming, or low-latency data pipelines (WebRTC, gRPC, custom protocols, etc.).
• Fluency with git-based workflows and CI/CD for iterative, high-velocity development.

Nice-to-have skills

• Hands-on experience with motion capture systems.
• Familiarity with humanoid robots, ROS2, or other robotic middleware and messaging frameworks.
• Understanding of human–robot motion retargeting, inverse kinematics, or telepresence control schemes.
• Experience in Python and C++ for integrating teleoperation interfaces with robotics backends, simulation environments, or tooling.
• Experience with stereovision systems and camera calibration for accurate depth perception in teleoperation environments.
• Experience working in high-intensity, hardware-plus-software environments where systems are deployed into real factories or field settings.
