Manipulation Engineer (Dexterous Hands)

Own reach, grasp and place: the arm and hand behaviours that make the humanoid useful rather than merely mobile.

Key responsibilities:

• Develop grasping, in-hand and bimanual manipulation behaviours.
• Integrate tactile and force sensing into the manipulation stack.
• Build task benchmarks and measure success rates honestly.
• Work with the world-model team to close the perception-to-action loop.

Requirements: Manipulation research or engineering; motion planning and grasp synthesis; force and tactile sensing; real-hardware results, not only simulation.

Salary: Salary on application
