Member of Technical Staff, Robotics
Sieve, San Francisco
The role
As Sieve's first roboticist, you'll own the physical side of our physical AI data: the robots, capture rigs, and teleoperation stations that generate the datasets we deliver to frontier labs. You'll take each system from parts on a table to a setup that records clean, synchronized data at a partner site, and you'll handle both the hardware and the software along the way.
Most of your week will be spent with real equipment: wiring and rewiring, bringing up new sensors, chasing calibration drift, and fixing whatever stopped recording overnight. We want someone who has run systems in real deployments and brings discipline to the work. When a rig works once, you want to know why, and you want it to work the same way at every site. You don't consider a problem closed until the data coming off the system is right.
What you will do
- Capture rigs: Design and bring up the hardware we record with: multi-camera arrays, head- and wrist-mounted egocentric cameras, depth/IMU/force sensor packages, and teleoperation stations such as leader-follower arms.
