Austin, TX
full-timeseniorrobotics

Tech Stack

Description

You will lead the development of learning-based dexterous control algorithms for Apptronik's humanoid robot, Apollo, enabling human-like precision in manufacturing and logistics. Your work will span from simulation to real-world deployment, influencing both software architecture and hardware design.

Requirements

  • Deep expertise in multi-fingered hand control, grasp planning, and in-hand manipulation with hardware deployment
  • Proficiency in learning-based control (e.g., diffusion-based policies, RL)
  • Proficiency in Python and real-time robotic software stacks
  • Experience with physics engines (IsaacSim, MuJoCo, or Drake)
  • 5+ years experience in robotic manipulation or complex motion control (PhD can substitute 2 years)

Responsibilities

  • Serve as technical authority for dexterous manipulation, creating long-term roadmap
  • Design and enforce foundational software frameworks for manipulation
  • Integrate state-of-the-art learning-based policies and vision-integrated systems
  • Lead sim-to-real strategy for high-fidelity simulation and policy transfer
  • Drive hardware specifications for sensing, degrees of freedom, and torque profiles
