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
