Data Engineer

Our Mission

Our mission is to solve the most important and fundamental challenges in AI and Robotics to enable future generations of intelligent machines that will help us all live better lives.

Data Engineers will work cross-functionally, creating new technology to support software development for robots. If you have a passion for developing data collection and processing infrastructure for robots and robotic learning, you will want to join us! We are onsite in our new Cambridge, MA office where we are building a collaborative and exciting new organization.
