Research Engineer
Human Archive, San Francisco
The role
As a Research Engineer, you’ll work on multimodal sensing systems and sensor fusion research for embodied AI and robotics. This role sits at the intersection of robotics, perception, hardware systems, and machine learning, where your work directly shapes how multimodal data is collected, synchronized, fused, and used for downstream VLA training.
You’ll research emerging sensing technologies across RGB-D video, motion capture, IMUs, tactile sensing, audio, and wearable systems, and study how different sensor combinations impact robot learning, policy performance, and generalization. You’ll work closely with hardware, ML, and research teams to design experiments, evaluate new sensing stacks, and help define the next generation of multimodal robotics datasets.
Your work will help shape how frontier labs and leading robotics companies train their models, transforming physical labor markets and economies while contributing to broader research into human embodied intelligence.
