Relevant backgrounds include perception, SLAM and navigation, controls, autonomy and task execution, and real-time robotics software, as well as experience deploying learned behavior models such as vision-language-action (VLA) models or VLM- and LLM-based planners on robots. Lead the design and delivery of on-robot subsystems, such as perception, SLAM and navigation, dexterous manipulation, low level controls, or task execution, from architecture through deployment on robots, and guide the engineers building it with you.
