Job Summary
Job Description
The Role
The Senior Data Engineer AI and Robotics will join the AI Research team within the Autonomous Robotics Center (ARC). This role owns the robotics data backbone that enables scalable robot learning in manufacturing from data capture and curation through versioning serving and auditing. Your work will make model development reproducible testable and production-ready.
This is a robotics and machine learning (ML) infrastructure role focused on multimodal robotic datasets and continuous model iteration. You will partner closely with AI researchers robotics engineers and plant teams to turn real-world robot behavior and failures into high-quality training data and robust production systems.
What Youll Do
- Build and operate multimodal data pipelines for robotics (e.g. vision depth force/torque joint states events metadata) including reliable capture from lab and plant-adjacent cells.
- Implement reproducible data logging and replay workflows (including ROS 2 bagging where applicable) to enable debugging regression testing and dataset construction.
- Own dataset lifecycle management including versioning and lineage provenance governance and data quality gates to support trustworthy model training and evaluation.
- Integrate experiment tracking and model/data traceability so teams can compare runs reproduce results and audit changes over time.
- Establish MLOps automation patterns (CI/CD/CT-style pipelines for ML) that reduce manual toil and increase deployment confidence for robotics AI updates.
- Partner with AI/ML planning and validation teams to define data contracts (schemas labeling standards failure taxonomies) and turn field failures into curated training datasets.
What Youll Need (Required Qualifications)
- B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science Computer Engineering Data Engineering or a related field.
- 6 years of experience building production data systems and/or ML infrastructure with practical experience supporting training pipelines end-to-end.
- Strong proficiency in Python and at least one of: C Scala or Java.
- Demonstrated engineering discipline in testing documentation and operational reliability.
- Experience with dataset versioning lineage and reproducibility tooling (e.g. DVC or equivalent approaches).
- Experience with experiment tracking and model registry patterns (e.g. MLflow or equivalent tools).
- Ability to work onsite with hardware and robotics teams and to design pipelines that handle real-world robotic logging constraints (e.g. bandwidth limits dropped frames timing drift).
What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
- Hands-on robotics logging and replay experience (e.g. ROS 2 bags system telemetry pipelines).
- Experience with simulation-to-real data workflows and dataset synthesis strategies.
- Familiarity with data governance requirements and auditability in safety-adjacent or safety-critical systems.
- Experience building tools to support data labeling workflows quality assurance and active learning loops.
