<p>We are hiring a Robotics Data Pipeline QA Engineer to build end-to-end infrastructures that move robotics video, sensor data, annotation output, and review results reliably through labeling workflows. You will combine software engineering, data pipeline design, robotics context, and automation-driven QA systems to ensure the highest-quality data is produced at scale.</p>
<p>Your work ensures robotics teams can collect, label, and validate thousands of hours of data per week with confidence and cost-efficiency.</p>
<h2><strong>Your Impact</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li style="line-height: 2;">Build and optimize ingestion pipelines for robotics video, synchronized metadata, sensor logs, and derived annotations.</li>
<li style="line-height: 2;">Architect scalable labeling workflows that maintain ID integrity, time alignment, and version control across large datasets.</li>
<li style="line-height: 2;">Implement automated QA flows using heuristics, statistics, and LLM-based validation to reduce manual QA burden.</li>
<li style="line-height: 2;">Create dynamic trust scoring systems that ramp-down review percentage as contributors prove consistent quality.</li>
<li style="line-height: 2;">Track data progression across ingestion → labeling → review → acceptance → downstream consumption.</li>
<li style="line-height: 2;">Build monitoring systems for throughput, failure rates, accuracy, contributor performance, and cost impact.</li>
<li style="line-height: 2;">Identify robotic-specific annotation edge cases and translate them into codified criteria and QA logic.</li>
<li style="line-height: 2;">Collaborate with internal Platform, Infra, and ML teams to integrate tooling end-to ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
