Remote Robotics Research information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Robotics Researcher, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Robotics Researcher, you need a strong background in robotics, computer science, and engineering, often supported by an advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in a related field. Familiarity with programming languages (such as Python or C++), robotics operating systems (like ROS), and simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo, MATLAB) is typically required. Exceptional problem-solving, independent research skills, and effective virtual communication help you excel in remote, collaborative environments. These competencies are crucial for advancing robotics innovation while efficiently contributing to distributed research teams.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in remote robotics research, and how are they typically addressed?

One common challenge in remote robotics research is effective collaboration across distributed teams, especially when working in different time zones. Researchers often rely heavily on digital communication tools and version control systems to coordinate experiments, share results, and troubleshoot issues in real-time. Another challenge is accessing and managing physical robotics hardware remotely, which is often addressed by using simulation environments and remote access protocols. Successful professionals in this field develop strong communication skills, adaptability, and familiarity with remote testing platforms to overcome these hurdles.

What is remote robotics research?

Remote robotics research involves studying and developing robotic systems and technologies from a location that is not physically on-site, often using digital communication tools and remote access to hardware or simulations. Researchers in this field might design algorithms, run simulations, or control robots over the internet to test new ideas. This approach enables collaboration across different regions and can reduce costs associated with travel and physical infrastructure. It also allows researchers to work with advanced robotics platforms that may be located in specialized labs or facilities around the world.

Job description

Agility's commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.

About The Role

The Senior Manager of AI Innovation will be a key leader within our cutting-edge humanoid robotics company, bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI/ML research and functional robotic applications. Your mission is to drive research that derisks our product roadmap by solving complex robotics challenges on the one to two year time horizon. This will include driving initiatives from concept stage to minimal viable product across domains such as perceptive real-time planning, whole body-control, and learning from demonstration. You will manage a high-performing team of researchers and engineers, fostering a culture of rigorous experimentation, problem based research, failing fast, and extreme ownership.

About The Work
  • Oversee the lifecycle of innovation projects, from initial research and whiteboarding to "proof-of-concept" deployment on humanoid platforms.
  • Owns the success of the AI Innovation program, holding themselves and the team accountable for quality and delivery.
  • Drive research into novel AI solutions for complex robotics challenges, such as real-time planning, human-robot interaction, and adaptive motor control.
  • Accelerate our data flywheel strategy to combine teleoperation, synthetic data, and fleet learning to expand the fleet performance and reliability.
  • Partner with Hardware and Robot Software teams to ensure that next-generation sensor suites are optimized for future AI architectures.
  • Champion the existing team's talent and represent their needs to senior leadership.
  • Manage performance cycles, create individualized development plans, and lead hiring to scale the AI Innovation team.
  • Foster a safe and collaborative environment within the team, encouraging open dialogue and the freedom to learn from failed experiments.
Required Qualifications
  • Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 8 years of experience in AI/ML, with at least 3 years in a management role.
  • Demonstrated experience in developing and deploying real-time AI solutions for robotics, autonomous systems, or other mission-critical applications.
  • Strong expertise in core AI domains, including computer vision, reinforcement learning, and large language models (LLMs) applied to robotics.
  • Proven track record of managing scaling high-performance engineering or research teams.
  • Experience deploying models on resource-constrained edge devices, balancing inference speed, power consumption, and thermal limits.

This is a fully remote role with the option to work hybrid if a commutable distance from our Salem, OR, Pittsburgh, PA, or Fremont, CA offices.
