Research Engineer, Data Infrastructure

About 1X We're an AI and robotics company based in Palo Alto, California, on a mission to build a truly abundant society through general purpose robots capable of performing any kind of work autonomously.

We believe that to truly understand the world and grow in intelligence, humanoid robots must live and learn alongside us.

That's why we're focused on developing friendly home robots designed to integrate seamlessly into everyday life.

We're looking for curious, driven, and passionate people who want to help shape the future of robotics and AI.

If this mission excites you, we'd be thrilled to hear from you and explore how you might contribute to our journey.

Role Overview As a Research Engineer in Data Infrastructure, you will design and implement a "data engine" that uploads the data collected by the robot fleet, makes this data easy to query and train on, and supports redeploying new models back to the robot fleet.

Your work ensures high quality data pipelines are built and maintained, enabling efficient model development, large scale labeling, and smooth integration between on robot, on premise, and cloud systems.

Responsibilities * Design triggers on the robot to determine if and when data should be uploaded * Automate ETL pipelines so fleet wide data is easily queryable and available for training * Automate data movement between hybrid systems (on premise research cluster and cloud datacenter) * Build frontend tools for visualizing and automating labeling of very large datasets * Develop machine learning models to automatically label and organize datasets
