 to own the  end-to-end data lifecycle

 that powers AI models for humanoid robots.

This role is responsible for  how data is collected, structured, validated, stored, and reused

 across the humanoid AI stack—ensuring data quality, scalability, traceability, and alignment with learning objectives (VLA, RL, diffusion, flow-matching). You will turn data into  strategic assets

.

Scope of Ownership

The Data Collection & Management Division owns:

• Real-world data for training AI models
• Teleoperation & human demonstration data
• Simulation-generated data
• Real-robot operational data

Key Responsibilities

1. Data Strategy & Architecture

• Define the  data strategy and roadmap

   for humanoid learning across: Perception, Manipulation, Autonomy, Foundation models (VLA, multimodal policies)

• Design scalable  data architectures

   covering ingestion, storage, indexing, and retrieval.

• Define data standards: schemas, metadata, formats, timestamps, synchronization.

2. Data Collection Systems

3. Dataset Curation & Quality

• Own dataset  cleaning, filtering, balancing, and validation

4. Infrastructure, MLOps & Governance

• Build and maintain  data infrastructure

   supporting large-scale training and evaluation.
