About the role
We're building foundational models for general purpose manipulation. Our data infrastructure allows us to generate rich, multi-modal human demonstration data at exponential scale.
We are using this data to train general-purpose manipulation models that work reliably across tasks, objects, and robot embodiments. We are live in deployment across multiple verticals.
As a hardware engineer, you'll own our custom data collection hardware - the design of first-of-its-kind wearable instruments for collecting the highest quality robotics data.
What you'll do:
Design and iterate on our wearable data collection hardware - mechanical, electronics, and firmware
Maintain and manage the sensor hardware fleet
Run calibration; diagnose and repair issues across electronics, firmware, and mechanical
Root-cause data quality problems that trace back to hardware
You should have:
Hands-on experience with embedded systems and sensors - encoders, IMUs, force/tactile sensors, cameras
Proficiency in CAD - you can design, iterate, and prepare parts for fabrication
Strong debugging instincts across electronics, firmware, and mechanical assembly
Experience maintaining or scaling a hardware fleet is a plus
Strong hands-on instinct - comfortable disassembling, testing, and rebuilding hardware
Our culture is built on honesty and willingness to fail fast. If you see yourself fitting here, please apply.

About Intelligence Factory
Robotics is the new paradigm. With hardware converging, Intelligence is the biggest bottleneck. Our world was built for humans and we're giving robots the ability to reason and act like us.
The way we learn any task - by seeing, doing, and feeling - is how we train robots. We're building general intelligence that works on any robot and fits seamlessly within our world.
