Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the robot learning organization to develop a roadmap transitioning from teleoperation data to autonomous robotic capabilities. Build and mentor a world-class team while designing learning systems for contact-rich manipulation in industrial environments.
Requires a PhD in Robotics, Machine Learning, or a related field with significant experience shipping real-world robotic manipulation systems. Must possess deep expertise in imitation and reinforcement learning and a track record of leading highly technical teams.
About the Opportunity
We're partnering with an ambitious early-stage robotics company building the next generation of humanoid telepresence systems for industrial work.
The company's mission is to make dangerous, highly skilled physical work safer and more accessible by enabling expert operators to remotely control humanoid robots with real-time visual, auditory, and haptic feedback. These systems are deployed in complex environments including energy infrastructure, industrial facilities, manufacturing, and other hazardous settings.
A core part of the long-term vision is transforming teleoperation data into increasingly autonomous robotic capabilities. Rather than treating teleoperation as a temporary solution, the company views it as the foundation for building high-quality robot learning systems based on real-world interaction, force feedback, and task execution.
This is an opportunity to define the robot learning strategy at a company where machine learning is central to the product roadmap.
The Role
We're seeking a Vice President of Robot Learning to lead the company's robot learning organization and own the roadmap from teleoperation data collection through to learned policies and increasing levels of autonomy.
This is a highly technical leadership role for someone who enjoys building from first principles, working closely with hardware and software teams, and translating cutting-edge robotics research into production systems.
You'll have the opportunity to shape both the technical direction and the team as the company scales.
